 Hrithik
Roshan, just 3 years old as an actor, has already
figures in Top 10 people of bollywood. It's not just
good looks, a phenomenal debut Kaho Naa Pyaar
Hai which overnight instant him to super stardom
or 2003 biggest commercial and critical success Koi
Mil Gaya. Hrithik Roshan has a stirring sincerity
towards his work that sets him apart. The trade predicts
he will be the next superstar after the powerful Khan's.
He is the son of Rakesh Roshan. Has two thumbs on his
right hand that are grown together. He is having a sister
called Sunaina. He had married to 'Suzanne Khan' daughter
of Sanjay Khan on 20 December 2000 who was his girl
friend from long time. He can't handle money. His wife
and parents are taking care of the financial details.
Has been called the Indian Sylvester Stallone, Brad
Pitt and Michael Jackson rolled into one person. The
country wide hysteria following the release of his first
film Kaho Naa Pyar Hai
in 2000, is known as Hrithikmania and is unprecedented.
The look of his muscular, chiselled body started a fitness
boom in India. He often supports charities of various
kinds and known as a perfectionist and control freak.
He wanted to quit the film business altogether after
his father Rakesh Roshan was shot at and wounded by
hitmen sent by the Bollywood mafia, but changed his
mind. He prepared for 2 years himself, extensively for
his screen debut, taking acting, singing, dancing, fencing,
riding etc. lessons. He also worked hard on his diction
and physical appearance (strenuous workout routines).
Fought hard to overcome a stammering problem.
Worked for many years on the sets of his father Rakesh
Roshan in various functions, including sweeping the
floor and serving tea to the stars, to learn the business
from scratch. Believes in the good in every person,
a character trait often misinterpreted by others as
gullibility and/or naïvety. He got 30000 (!) marriage
proposals on Valentine's day 2000.
He was the victim of a defamation campaign in late
december 2000. Rumors were spread that he stated in
an interview that he hates Nepal and its people. This
immediately led to riots in Nepal, cinemas showing his
films were attacked, posters burnt, Hindi movies banned
in general for some days and several people shot dead
by the police. The events made headlines all over the
world and the governments of Indian and Nepal got involved
as well. Anti Indian / Hrithik sentiment died down quickly
when it became clear that the alleged statements were
a fabrication and the rumors were spread by a malicious
third party, possibly the Bollywood mafia, still pissed
about not getting the foreign rights to Kaho Naa...
Pyaar Hai (2000). Nepal born actress Manisha Koirala
played an important role in getting the news to the
people in Nepal that the accusations were false.
In January 2001 Hrithik Roshan was again involved in
a controversy. This time about a poster created and
used by the Democratic Alliance in South Africa in November
2000 to woo Indian voters. The poster used his face
without permission. The ANC reacted angrily and threatened
to ban his films.
He has been called the first complete Bollywood actor
who has no weakness and scores very high in every department:
face, physique, voice, dancing, drama, romance, action,
comedy, macho, softie...
