Hrithik Roshan is a real Bollywood superstar. Outside of India, the actor is not very familiar to anyone, however, in his homeland he managed to become a movie star and sex symbols of millions of women.
Childhood and career start
Hrithik Roshan was born on January 10, 1971 in the Indian city of Bombay, which is now renamed Mumbai. Hrithik was not the only child in the family; he has a sister. Roshan's parents are people who have dedicated their entire lives to the film industry. For example, his father is a rather famous Indian director, his mother is an actress. By the way, Uncle Roshan is also a creative person, he is a popular composer in India.
Thus, everything went to the fact that the doors to the world of cinema will open before Hrithik. But, as you know, to be the son of a person known in the country is not always easy, because sometimes this puts considerable pressure on the fragile children's psyche. In addition, the boy was born with 6 fingers on his right hand and had speech defects up to 14 years old - all this imposed on him an inferiority complex, which he had to deal with for a long time. Seeing that, as a rule, actors are handsome, muscular men, Roshan never hoped to ever succeed in the film industry.
But thanks to his father, the boy began to gradually get rid of the fear of cameras. Already at the age of 6, he made his film debut: he got a role in the film "Hope", directed by his father. Then, a very young Hrithik played in a movie called "Crazy About You", where the director was also Roshan Sr.
At this, the career in cinema for the boy ended, because his parents wanted him to get an education outside the country, preferably in Europe. However, the young man himself was so involved in the filming process that, secretly from everyone, as a teenager, he attended master classes in acting skills.
When the secret became apparent, the father of the young man reconciled with the interests of his son and took him to work as one of the assistants.
Roshan Sr. did not do anything to Hrithik, the guy worked for days on end, he had almost no sleep time, and if he had the opportunity to sleep, he had to do this in the cheapest hotels in the country. But the young man did not complain at all about such a lifestyle, as he understood that this would only make him stronger and more confident.
Long-awaited success
After many years of hard work in the shadow of his father, in 2000, Hrithik was awarded the main role in the movie "Tell me you love!". The creator of the film was again Roshan Sr. Participation in this film made the aspiring actor truly famous. In addition, the young man was very mature and did a lot of work in the gym. Since then, his career has gone uphill.
The filmography of the actor has over 30 film and television projects of purely Indian origin. One of the best works in Roshan’s career is considered to be a role in an action movie called Krrish, which was released back in 2006 and continues in the form of two full-length films. The fourth part about the Indian superhero will be released in December 2020.
