Roshan Hrithik: biography, career, personal life

Childhood and youth

Hrithik Roshan was born on January 10, 1974. According to the zodiac sign of the young man, he is Capricorn. Roshan appeared in a family associated with cinema, which influenced the young man’s fate and choice of profession. Hrithik's father is Indian actor and director Rakesh Roshan, Pinky's mother is an actress, and his uncle Rajer is a famous Indian composer. However, for a long time, Hrithik was afraid to think about a career in cinema, since he had speech problems until the age of 14 and was born with a sixth finger on his hand.

However, at the age of six, in 1980, the boy first played in the film “Aasha”, then in the film “Aap Ke Deewane”. The continuation of Hrithik’s filmography followed only in 2000 in his father’s film “Say You Love”. For this role, the young actor received Filmfare Awards in the categories for “Best Actor” and “Best Debut”.

Hrithik's parents wanted him to receive an education in Europe, and the guy himself secretly enrolled in acting classes. The father reacted to this in a peculiar way. He suggested that his son start a career in film production rather than as an actor. So the future star became only his father's third assistant. He had to travel around the country, spending the night in cheap hotels, working his ass off.

Long-awaited success

After many years of hard work in the shadow of his father, in 2000 Hrithik was awarded the leading role in the film Say You Love Me! The film is once again directed by Roshan Sr. Participation in this film made the aspiring actor truly famous. In addition, the young man was very mature and worked out a lot in the gym. Since then, his career has taken off.

The actor’s filmography includes over 30 film and television projects of purely Indian origin. One of the best works in Roshan’s career is considered to be his role in the action film “Krrish”, which was released back in 2006 and has a sequel in the form of two full-length films. The fourth part about the Indian superhero will be released in December 2020.

Movies

Having learned the secrets of Bollywood from the inside, and not in dry theory, Hrithik finally gets the role that instantly made the guy a famous and famous actor. The young man’s father was looking for a performer to play the main role in his next film (“Say that you love!”). The actor he originally planned to direct turned down the role, and Rakesh decided to try his son. Moreover, Rakesh wanted to bring a new hero into Indian films.

Hrithik Roshan - Indian sex symbol

The man's calculation turned out to be correct. Hrithik became an overnight star. The young actor matured, and classes with a personal bodybuilding trainer, combined with a sports balanced diet, turned the artist into a sex symbol, for whom the female part of India went crazy. Hrithik's sad green eyes and athletic pumped up figure have become the subject of dreams for many Indian women.

On the wave of success, Hrithik signs contracts for the next two years. However, new projects did not bring the young actor the planned success. Moreover, they created the impression that Hrithik is only able to work fruitfully together with his father. And it was he who came to the rescue of his son, giving him a chance to restore glory, and offered him excellent roles.
