Difficult Childhood

Pinky Roshan is the actor's mother. A day Hrithik was born, January of 1974, woman's relatives predicted that she would be proud of her son's achievements one day. According to her husband, the film director Rakesh Roshan, no one could even imagine that Hrithik's acting career would be so successful. By the way, Hrithik's older sibling, Sunaina Roshan, became an actress as well, but she's little known outside India.

Hrithik Roshan with his Father and Sibling

When the future actor was little, he was a real tomboy. It's understandable: when he was born, Pinky was only 21. She tried to combine her acting career with motherhood, and Rakesh dedicated most of his time to work. One day, when parents went to a party, little Hrithik went to the 13th floor of a skyscraper and started throwing beer bottles at streetwalkers. When they came home and saw it, Rakesh hit his son for the first time. Later he was sorry for doing that, for, according to the film director, Hrithik wasn't a bad boy. He was very sentimental and often cried. Attention and care removed all gaps in his upbringing.

The boy was ashamed of his birth defect - he has six fingers on his right hand. Parents decided not to remove their son's second thumb. Besides, when Hrithik was six, he began stuttering that's why his classmates from a Scottish school in Mumbai were bullying him. According to the actor, it felt like hell.

Everything seems normal until you start talking. The moment you start talking, you get stuck. And you don't know why. Your heart starts beating faster, and suddenly you realize that people are looking at you.

This speech defect made the future sex symbol of India dread of verbal tests. On the day of his test, he pretended sick or broke his arm to avoid it. When Hrithik turned 14, he started attending a speech therapist. It helped him to overcome the defect, but unfortunately, he didn't conquer it completely.

Acting Career

After school, Roshan received a Bachelor diploma in the Economic and Trade College of Sydenham. At that time, he also started helping his father with the filming of Kolya as the third assistant of the film director. When most ordinary Indian boys went to night clubs and made a play for cute girls, he lifted weights, worked on his articulation, and learned how to work with professional cameras. Members of the film set remembered a shy boy who was telling them, Everything is ready for the filming, sir.

Rakesh Roshan wanted to invite a well-known star, Shahrukh Khan, but at the project meeting, Hrithik unexpectedly said that this role requires a beginner. His father said nothing but a few days later, he asked Hrithik to visit him.

That night I had a serious conversation with him. I said, You saw how your father had been fighting. My career had its ups and downs. But he was so determined, said Rakesh.

I'm a problem solver, that's why I love them. They encourage me.
