[edit] Career
Hrithik's first movie role was as a child artist when he was six years old in the 1980 movie Aasha, when he appeared in a dance sequence as an extra. He went on to appear in Aap Ki Deewane (1980) and Bhagwan Dada (1986) playing minor roles. He then became an assistant director for his father's films Karan Arjun (1995) and Koyla (1997).
He made his debut as a leading man in the 2000 film Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai opposite another debutante actress Amisha Patel. The film was directed by his father and proved to be very successful at the box office: It was the highest grossing film of 2000[1] and winner of the Filmfare Best Movie Award. Hrithik's performance earned him the Filmfare Best Debut Award and the Filmfare Best Actor Award. The film Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai entered the Limca Book of Records in 2003 for the most number of Awards won by a Bollywood Film - 102 awards.[2]
Also in 2000, Hrithik also starred in Fiza which was a flop and Mission Kashmir which was an average hit. [3]
In 2001, Hrithik starred in Yaadein which was a failure at the box office and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham which did extremely well at the box office, becoming the second-highest grossing film of 2001.[4]
He had a bad year in 2002 when all three of his releases - Mujhse Dosti Karoge!', Na Tum Jaano Na Hum, Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage - failed to make an impact the box office and were declared flops.[5] In 2003, he finally had another hit with Koi Mil Gaya, which Hrithik's father Rakesh directed. It was the highest grosser of the year and won many Filmfare Awards, including another Filmfare Best Actor Award for Hrithik.[6]hHe only had only one release in 2004, Lakshya, directed by Farhan Akhtar. Lakshya did not do as well at the box office as expected[7] but critics called it his most impressive performance so far.[8]
Hrithik took a two-year break from acting before resurfacing with the superhero film Krrish, a sequel to his 2003 hit Koi Mil Gaya which released in June 2006. Krrish was a major box office success and one of the highest grossers of 2006.[9] His most recent release is Dhoom 2, a sequel to the 2004 hit Dhoom, in which he played a negative role (a villain) for the first time. The film released on November 24, 2006 and is also among the highest grossing films of 2006. There are rumours that he has been selected for an upcoming Hollywood movie (which is said to be RAMBO). He is one of the most glamorous actor in the Bollywood Industry. His performance in Dhoom 2 is really appreciable.[10]
[edit] Controversy
In 2001, a rumour alleging Roshan to have made bad remarks on Nepal and its people caused an outrage in the country. Several newspapers carried the report, leading to student protests, in which four people died. [11] The unrest the protests caused forced the government to cancel a flight from Kathmandu to India.[12]Later the Indian embassy and the actor himself clarified that he had made no such disparaging remarks against Nepal. [13]
In 2006, at the London press conference for his film Krrish, Roshan said that he knew it was time to leave Shanghai and Hong Kong after six weeks of stunt training and go home when his eyes started "turning into little slits like the Chinese".[14]
[edit] Personal life
Hrithik Roshan was born in Mumbai, India, to Pinky and actor/director Rakesh Roshan. He is the nephew of well-known music director Rajesh Roshan. Hrithik has a supernumerary thumb on his right hand.[15]
Roshan is married to Sussanne Khan (who is now Sussanne Roshan), his high-school sweetheart. Sussanne is the daughter of actor/director Sanjay Khan. Film clans (see List of Bollywood film clans) tend to intermarry.
Hrithik and Sussanne Roshan had their first child, a baby boy, on March 28, 2006, at 3:08pm at Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai, India. The child was named Hrehaan.[16]
