Happy Birthday Hottie Hrithik!
The green eyed boy of Bollywood turns 35 today. We trace his fantastic Bollywood journey.
Hrithik comes from a filmi family. His father is renowned filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, his grandfather is veteran producer J Om Prakash. Music composer Rajesh Roshan is his uncle. He appeared in films like Bhagwan Dada and Aapke Deewane. He then assisted his father on films like Karan Arjun, Koyla and King Uncle.
The green eyed boy of Bollywood turns 35 today. We trace his fantastic Bollywood journey.
Kaho Naa Pyaar hai released in 2000. Hrithik ably carried the film ably on his tone shoulders with his confident performance and super smooth dancing skills. The film made Hrithik a superstar overnight. The stardom that Hrithik enjoyed was unprecedented. Many people compared the craze to the stardom Vinod Khanna and Rajesh Khanna enjoyed at the peak of the careers; such was the nationwide craze for Bollywood's newest entrant. King Khan felt the threat at the time but the two have become good friends now.
After playing the ultimate romantic hero in KNPH, Hrithik played a terrorist in Fiza and Mission Kashmir. He held his own opposite stalwarts like Sanjay Dutt and Karisma Kapoor. Fiza flopped and Mission Kashmir was a decent hit but Hrithik won accolades for his fine acting in both films.
Then Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham and Yaadein released in 2001. K3G was a big hit and Hrithik shared screen space with SRK, Kareena, Big B and Jaya Bachchan. Mujhse Dosti Karoge, Aap Mujhe Achhe Lagne Lage, Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon and Na Tum Jaano Na Hum were monumental flops. Hrithik was on the verge of losing his stardom when Koi Mil Gaya saved him. Hrithik's performance as a mentally disabled kid was brilliant and touching to say the least. It was remarkable that such a young actor could perform with such sensitivity. The film was a super hit. After becoming friends with an alien in KMG, Hrithik played a confused youngster turned disciplined soldier in Lakshya. Yet another nuanced performance to add to his impressive and versatile body of work.
Krrish and Dhoom 2 sealed the deal for Hrithik. Krrish was a bigger hit than KMG. Hrithik looked amazing in it with his long hair and big muscles. No one could have played the super hero better than him. Things only got better when Dhoom 2 released. Hrithik contributed immensely to the film's success because everyone used one phrase to describe Hrithik in the film: Greek God. It was mind-blowing the way he made his character come alive and he brought so much soul to the proceedings. Even though he was a bad guy, we didn't want him to die. He shared some crackling chemistry with Ash in the film. He was the ultimate sex symbol in the film.
Hrithik is probably the most handsome man on the planet and exudes an amazingly positive and uplifting aura. So who better than him to play Mughal Emperor Akbar in Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodhaa Akbar? We don't know how Akbar looked but Hrithik sure made him drool worthy! Unlike other period films, JA was a super hit. Hrithik and Ash sizzled once again and Hrithik delivered a magnificent performance.
Hrithik has won numerous popular film awards and civilian honours in his eight year long career. Hrithik will now be seen scorching the screen doing some salsa with Mexican actress Barbara Mori and Kangana Ranaut in Kites which releases in the summer.
On the personal front, Hrithik is married to Suzanne, daughter of Sanjay Khan. They have two sons: 2 year old Hrehaan and 8 month old Hridhaan. Hrithik is one of the most stylish actors around but he is also a very private person who interacts with the media only during the time of his film's release. He is very choosy about his roles and mostly does one film a year.
He is one the finest actors to have ever graced Bollywood. With his chiselled features and glowing green eyes, he is one of the most charming and quintessentially good looking men we have seen.
Men like Hrithik are not made everyday so here is wishing one of God's finest creations a very happy birthday!
