Hrithik Roshan (Hindi: ऋतिक रोशन, pronunciation: /rɪt̪ɪk roːʃən/ / born January 10, 1974) is an Indian actor working in Bollywood.

After having appeared in films as a child actor in the 1980s, Roshan made his film debut in a leading role with the blockbuster Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai (2000), which earned him Filmfare Awards for Best Actor and Best Male Debut. He has been noted for his performances in films like Koi... Mil Gaya (2003), Krrish (2006) and Dhoom 2 (2006), which are also his biggest commercial successes so far, and for which he won numerous Best Actor awards.

In 2008, Roshan received his fourth Filmfare Best Actor Award as well as his first international award at the Golden Minbar International Film Festival in Kazan, Russia for his performance in Jodhaa Akbar. His commercial success and critically appraised performances have established Roshan as one of the leading actors of India.

Career

Early career, until 1999

Roshan's first movie role was as a child artist when he was six years old in the 1980 movie Aasha, where he appeared in a dance sequence as an extra. Roshan went on to play minor roles in Aap Ke Deewane (1980) and Bhagwan Dada (1986) both of which starred his father in the leading role. He then became an assistant director assisting in the production of his father's films Karan Arjun (1995) and Koyla (1997).

Breakthrough, 2000–2002

In 2000, Roshan made his film debut as the leading man in the 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, becoming the highest grossing film of 2000[4] and winner of the Filmfare Best Movie Award. Roshan's performance earned him the Filmfare Best Male Debut Award and the Filmfare Best Actor Award. The film entered the Limca Book of Records in 2003 for the most number of awards won by a Bollywood film - 102 awards.[5]

Later that year, Roshan starred in Khalid Mohammed's critically acclaimed Fiza. Although the film did poorly at the box office, his performance was praised, earning him another nomination for Best Actor at the Filmfare ceremony. Taran Adarsh from indiaFM noted, "The mainstay of the film is undoubtedly Hrithik Roshan. His body language, his diction, his expressions, his overall persona deserves great praise. With this film, Hrithik proves that there is more to him than just being a fashionable rage, a Mills & Boon lover-boy and a sex symbol. His talent comes to the fore in several scenes, especially those with Karisma. All said and done, the show belongs to Hrithik, who saves Fiza to a major extent. A brilliant performance undoubtedly!"[6]

Roshan's last release of the year, the moderately successful Mission Kashmir, became the third highest grossing film of the year.[4] His performance was once again acclaimed with one critic praising him, "Hrithik once again cuts a splendid performance as a youngster sucked in the vortex of terrorism. He is portrayed as anti-government in the early part of the film-- a bold role to play for even a seasoned actor, leave alone a budding superstar." All these achievements promoted him as one of the biggest stars in the industry.[7]

Subhash Ghai's Yaadein was his first release in 2001, which failed to do well. This was followed by Karan Johar's melodramatic Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, which did extremely well at the box office, becoming the second-highest grossing film of 2001 and the biggest hit overseas.[8][9] Roshan's performance was well received and his performance earned him a nomination for Best Supporting Actor at various award ceremonies.

Roshan had an unsuccessful year in 2002 when all three of his releases - Mujhse Dosti Karoge!, Na Tum Jaano Na Hum and Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage - failed to make an impact the box office and were declared flops.[10]

Success, 2003 onward

In 2003, he made a comeback with the science-fiction film Koi... Mil Gaya, which was the highest grosser of the year[11] and won him many awards, including his second Filmfare Best Actor Award and his first Filmfare Best Actor (Critics) Award. Taran Adarsh noted, "Hrithik Roshan dominates the show and packs in a power-packed performance. The role of a mentally challenged person is no cakewalk, but the actor takes to it like a fish takes to water. He manages to pull off the zero to hero routine exceptionally well. As an actor, he scales dizzier heights with this splendid performance."[12]

Farhan Akhtar's Lakshya was Roshan's only release in 2004; the film did not do well at the box office.[13] However, his performance was praised by critics.[14]

Roshan 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. The film was a major box office success and one of the highest grossers of 2006.[15] His performance as a superhero was praised, earning him many Best Actor awards at various award ceremonies. IndiaFM concluded, "To state that Hrithik is the soul of Krrish would be an understatement. If the actor walked away with all noteworthy awards in Koi... Mil Gaya, it's going to be an encore with Krrish. You cannot imagine any other actor enacting the role of a gifted child with aplomb. If his mask and robe look is splendid, watch his make up, gait and mannerisms as the aged father and you'd agree, he's one of the finest talents on the Indian screen today. Krrish is yet another ground-breaking film in his dazzling repertoire!"[16]

His next film that year, Dhoom 2, a sequel to the 2004 hit Dhoom saw him play a villain for the first time. Featured opposite Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Roshan's performance in the movie not only earned him widespread critical acclaim,[17] but also his third Filmfare Best Actor Award. The film went on to become the highest grossing film of 2006, as well as one of the most successful films of Bollywood.[15][18]

In 2008, Roshan featured in Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodhaa Akbar opposite Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. He played the historical role of Akbar the Great. The movie did very good business, both in India and abroad.[19][9] His performance in the movie was widely appreciated by critics, earning him his fourth Filmfare Best Actor Award as well as his first international award for Best Actor at the Golden Minbar International Film Festival in Kazan, Russia.[2]

Roshan recently appeared in Zoya Akhtar's Luck by Chance (2009), in which he made a special appearance. He is currently filming for Anurag Basu's Kites along with Mexican actress Bárbara Mori and Kangna Ranaut, and has recently signed director Sanjay Leela Bhansali's yet untitled film opposite Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.[20]

Personal life

Roshan was born in Mumbai, into a Punjabi Hindu 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 veteran producer and director J. Om Prakash. The well-known music director Rajesh Roshan is his uncle.

As a child, Roshan attended the Bombay Scottish School.[21] He later attended Sydenham College, where he did his B.Com.[22]

Roshan is married to Sussanne Khan, the daughter of Sanjay Khan. The couple had their first child, a baby boy, named Hrehaan Roshan on 28 March 2006 at Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai, India.[23] Roshan's wife later gave birth to another baby boy, named Hridhaan Roshan on May 1, 2008.[24][25] Roshan was born with two thumbs on his right hand that are partially fused together; this is considered by some to be a lucky sign.[26]
