Hrithik Roshan (born on 10 January 1974)is an Indian film actor and professional dancer. Having appeared as a child actor in several films throughout the 1980s, Roshan made his film debut in a leading role in Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai in 2000. His performance in the film earned him Filmfare Awards for Best Actor and Best Male Debut. He followed it with leading roles in Fiza and Mission Kashmir (both released in 2000) and a supporting part in the blockbuster Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001).
Following through with several unnoticed performances from 2002 to 2003, he starred in the blockbusters Koi... Mil Gaya (2003) and its sequel Krrish (2006), both of which won him numerous Best Actor awards.[3] Roshan received his third Filmfare Award for Best Actor in 2006 for his performance in the action film Dhoom 2, and his fourth for Jodhaa Akbar[4] for which he was also awarded at the Golden Minbar International Film Festival. He later received further acclaim for his work in Guzaarish (2010), Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (2011) and Agneepath (2012), his biggest commercial success so far. These accomplishments have established him as a leading contemporary actor of Hindi cinema.
Hrithik's maternal grandfather—famous director-producer J. Om Prakash—first introduced his beloved grandson on-screen at age 6 in the hugely successful Aasha (1980), by secretly having his camera crew film without the little boy's knowledge as he danced spontaneously while 'visiting Grandpa' on Grandpa's movie set. As J. Om Prakash later recounted the event:
'The song was to be shot on Jeetendra. Hrithik was on the sets, and he liked the interlude music very much and started dancing. I had asked my camera person and crew to be ready. I asked Hrithik if he liked the song, and he said, "Yes, Deda, it is lovely music." I replayed the music and he started dancing, and we shot it without his knowledge. When the music got over, the entire studio applauded excitingly. The remaining part of the music was to be shot in the same way with Jeetu. After Jeetu's shot was over, he came to me and said, "For God's sake don't shoot a single more shot in this film with this boy, otherwise the audience will hoot my performance!" That was a remark that came from Jeetu .'
Little Hrithik was later 'paid' with INR100 (US$1.70) worth of chocolates and miniature toy cars.
What followed over the next several years is what adult Hrithik describes as his childhood "lucky mascot" period:[6] tiny one- or two-shot uncredited appearances in various of his family's film projects, where his only task was to have fun and supposedly bring luck to the movie. Thus child Hrithik (aged 6) can be seen riding a tricyle on a beach during the song "Ram Kare Allah Kare" in his father Rakesh Roshan's production Aap Ke Deewane (1980). In his grandfather J. Om Prakash's Aas Paas (1981), a gap-toothed Hrithik (aged 7) even received a costume and a close-up, as he passes a love note from Dharmendra to Hema Malini during the song "Shehar Main Charchi Hai".
Hrithik Roshan was not a child actor, in the usual sense. Never trained. Never marketed.
Hrithik's one childhood speaking role—his only substantial film performance as a child—came about at age 11-12 through a family emergency, of sorts: The boy originally cast as Govinda, the title character's adopted son in director J. Om Prakash's Bhagwan Dada (1986), fell seriously ill just as shooting was supposed to start. They needed a boy immediately, so at the very last minute his grandfather suggested taking Hrithik.
Although still completely untrained, the key role of Govinda required young Hrithik to not only trade dialogue with some of the biggest film stars of the day -- Rajnikanth as the title character, a former gangster morally reformed by his love for this child, plus Sridevi and his real-life father Rakesh Roshan and Danny Denzongpa as the villain—but do songs with Rajnikanth, dance with Sridevi, and fight Danny Denzongpa. He even had to die. Govinda's brutal murder at the hands (or rather, feet) of the evil ganglord played by Danny Denzongpa becomes the catalyst for the film's climax.
J. Om Prakash recalls how Bhagwan Dada discovered to him Hrithik's unvarnished "artistic endowment":
' I was telling him how to perform in his death scene but he said, "Wait, Deda (that's what he calls me), check me out in the scene". He did a mind-blowing take and I knew that a brilliant actor was in the making.'
After completing school and college, Hrithik turned down a Masters Degree scholarship for further study in the United States, in order to concentrate instead on film.[8] In order to learn filmcraft from literally the ground up—he started off sweeping floors, then gradually progressed to more demanding responsibilities like story development, camera work, and editing—Hrithik spent the next six years as a largely uncredited assistant to his father, director Rakesh Roshan, from Khel (1992) through Koyla (1997).
Roshan was born in Mumbai to a family of cinema personalities. His father, film director Rakesh Roshan, is the son of music director Roshan, while his mother, Pinky, is the daughter of producer and director J. Om Prakash. Hrithik has an elder sister, Sunaina. His uncle Rajesh Roshan is a music director. As a child, Roshan attended the Bombay Scottish School. He later attended Sydenham College, where he earned a bachelor's degree in Commerce.
During an interview he revealed that his childhood was traumatized because of stammering, a speech disorder that surfaced when he was around six years old and plagues him even today. "For oral tests at school, I used to bunk school, I used to fall sick, I used to break my hand, I used to get a sprain," the actor said. He said that things improved for him gradually, after he started practicing speech therapies on a daily basis.
Roshan is married to Suzanne (Khan) Roshan, owner of Suzanne Roshan's House of Design and daughter of actor Sanjay Khan. They were married on 20 December 2000. The couple have two sons, Hrehaan (born in 2006) and Hridhaan (born in 2008). Roshan has two thumbs on his right hand. Although it is usually hidden in his films, it was shown in Koi... Mil Gaya and was even used as a minor plot point, as Jaadoo the alien was also designed to have two thumbs.
Following through with several unnoticed performances from 2002 to 2003, he starred in the blockbusters Koi...
