Called warmly as India's Sylvester Stallone, Hrithik Roshan is a prominent Bollywood actor. Although he was documented as a Hero after his debut movie 'Kaho Na Pyaar Hai' (against Amisha Patel in 2000), Hrithik Roshan's first movie role was as a child artist when he was six years old in the 1980 movie Aasha, where he played an extra as a dancing boy. After that he appeared in Aap Ki Deewane (1980) and Bhagwan Dada (1986). Many years later he worked behind the camera, supporting his father in films such as Karan Arjun and Koyla. While he was working on the movie Karan Arjun, the film's lead, Salman Khan, urged Hrithik to try his hand at acting. It's rumored that Salman Khan gave Hrithik lessons in body-building and acting. His debut movie was directed by his father; actor-producer-director Rakesh Roshan.
One of the few Indian actors who got the success from the first movie itself, Hrithik Roshan was lucky enough to the top of Bollywood with Hrithik-mania. Bagged many Indian awards for his first movie, Hrithik was not able to make it easy to give box office hits frequently. In 2001, Hrithik appeared in two films 'Yaadein' and 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham' .Hrithik had a tough year in 2002 when all three of his releases were box office failures, including the much-hyped 'Na Tum Jaano Na Hum' and 'Mujhse Dosti Karoge!'. He made a major comeback in 2003 when 'Koi Mil Gaya', Hrithik's first film directed by his father since his debut, was the highest grosser of the year. The film won every major award for Best Film and Hrithik was awarded with his second Filmfare Best Actor Award. The actor had only one release in 2004, 'Lakshya', directed by Farhan Akhtar. Lakshya did not do as well at the box office as expected, but Hrithik's performance was appreciated by critics.
After a two-year break, he acted in 'Krrish' which was released in June 2006. The movie, which is the sequel to his 2003 hit 'Koi... Mil Gaya', also stars Priyanka Chopra and Naseeruddin Shah and is once again directed by his father Rakesh Roshan. At the box office, Krrish has also been hugely successful.
Hrithik Roshan was born in Mumbai, India, to actress Pinky and actor Rakesh Roshan, who was himself the son of a well-known film-music director Roshan. Rakesh later turned to film production and direction. Hrithik's entry into acting extended the Roshan family role in Bollywood to the third generation.
Roshan is married to Suzanne Khan, his high-school sweetheart. Suzanne is the daughter of actor/director Sanjay Khan and sister of actor Zayed Khan. Roshan and Suzanne Khan welcomed their first child, a baby boy, into the world on March 28, 2006. The child was named Hrehaan. Hrithik is very close with Preety Zinta, the heartthrob heroine of bollywood, who is a good friend of his wife Suzanne as well.
Like many other actors, Hrithik tours in Bollywood stage shows. His first stage appearance was at the Lux Zee Cine Awards in 2001. He is currently filming for Dhoom 2, a sequel to the 2004 hit Dhoom in which he plays a villain role for the first time. The film is due for release in November 2006.
Undeniably, Hrithik Roshan is one of the finest talents on the Indian screen today. Even with his heady success, this down to earth gentleman remains humble to the core. He is one of the few actors who believe, it is purely hard work which makes one to succeed.
