Introduction
Known for his powerful personality and a chiseled body as the “Greek God of Bollywood,” Hrithik Roshan still is among India’s most successful and talented actors. Once a star kid, he turned into a megastar all because of sheer hard work and a sense of resilience and commitment toward the craft. He has carved a niche for himself in Bollywood with multi-skilled performance, brilliant dancing ability, and fitness regime.
Background
Hrithik Roshan is the son to Rakesh Roshan, an Indian film director and producer, born on 10 January 1974 in Mumbai, Maharashtra. The Indian film industry was close knit in Hrithik’s family. He had his father, Rakesh Roshan as a director and producer while the grandfather was Roshan who was one of the most prolific music directors in the country during the 1960s. This meant that Hrithik started getting known to cinema from an early age.
But it was not a smooth ride either. Hrithik was a stammerer from his childhood days. He would stammer while speaking. Fear of speaking in front of a gathering and shyness were the reasons for his stammering. The flair for performing arts did not leave him; with the family’s support and rigorous speech therapy, he defeated stammering. This was his first time with childhood, which gives a kind of determination to him; later on it characterizes Hrithik and his acting talent.
ENTRY INTO BOLLYWOOD:
Though Hrithik had made his celluloid presence felt as a child artiste in films like Aap Ke Deewane and Bhagwan Dada, it was only with the film Kaho Naa. Pyaar Hai in 2000 that he made an official entry as a lead actor. Directed by his father, Rakesh Roshan, the film emerged a blockbuster to catapult Hrithik overnight stardom.
Such rolod versatility fell in place with Rohit and Raj, so charisma was brought to the screen, which did the rest for him in earning him lots of awards-the Best Actor and Best Male Debut Filmfare awards. He was instantly a heart throb, as seen in “Ek Pal Ka Jeena,” which included impeccable dancing skills.
Career Development and Success
Having churned out a super-huge success with *Kaho Naa., Pyaar Hai*, Hrithik too had his fair share of woes as well, but this time on the box with some back-to-back box office disasters like *Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage* and *Mujhse Dosti Karoge!* Still, a much-needed momentum came in the form of the film *Koi. Mil Gaya* for him in 2003 that turned out to be a turning point for him.
A science fiction drama about a mentally challenged young man who befriends an alien was not only a money spinner but also placed Hrithik as an actor with serious acting chops. It was, in fact, the Rohit, and all that he had done till then, for which Hrithik took home his second Best Actor by-critical acclaim-from Filmfare. He was the head of the film which acted as the starting point for the Krrish franchise-one of the first franchises of India, on which the hero genre stands. The Krrish will be a legendary part, and this became all the more of a certainty for him as the series went on to become a success, with his becoming a star himself within Bollywood.
He only went on the stride of playing an entire range of roles in mid-2000s. As Mughal emperor Akbar in *Jodhaa Akbar*, the periodic romantic drama by Ashutosh Gowariker, he was again seen to draw positive attention from the critics and film viewers. He got more accolades for that great but generous emperor.
Dancing Genius
Besides his career as a great actor, Hrithik is also known for his dancing skills. His smooth dances on the floor combined with the fluidity with which he would do piece-of-choreography and do it so effortlessly that put him leagues ahead of the rest of the contemporaries. From the sublime “Ek Pal Ka Jeena” to the highly energetic “Bang Bang,” every dance number by Hrithik has been a feast to the eyes.
Hrithik began dancing from his childhood days, and indeed he has practiced so very hard to perfect his art. He moved from the more ancient form of dancing into the current mainstream form. His item numbers have always been a showstopper in movies that he featured in; therefore, he is one of the biggest stars that have ever had to appear on the screens.
THE FITNESS AND HEALTH ICON
Hrithik Roshan also became a fitness enthusiast and surely went through transformations for millions of fans over the years. Though he has had all the injuries in this phase-one of the worst was that he could not walk on his back for some time-Hrithik is still devoted to health and physique, and thus his workout routines, diet plans, and philosophies related to body fitness have made him a fitness icon in India.
In fact, the intensity of determination and mental strength is reflected by the fact that Hrithik sticks to fitness despite repeated failure and disappointment. He often shares his fitness journey on social media, advising others too to do the same by giving more importance to their health and well-being.
personal Life
He was married to actress Sussanne Khan in the year 2000, and he has two sons, Hrehaan and Hridhaan. In fact, after marrying for nearly 13 years, it was long after that when they separated in the year 2013, which almost received much publicity media coverage. Still separated, the couple spends time together as both of them want to co-parent their sons.
Whatever little personal life Hrithik might be having, his divorce and the controversies emanating out of it have usually kept coming under media spotlight. Yet again, he has always gone about keeping mum over the very personal issues while focusing on work and family.
