Difficult Childhood

Pinky Roshan is the actor's mother. The day Hrithik was born in January 1974, the woman's relatives predicted she would one day be proud of her son's achievements. According to her husband, the film director Rakesh Roshan, no one could even imagine that Hrithik's acting career would be so successful. Hrithik's older sister, Sunaina Roshan, also became an actress, though she's relatively unknown outside India.

When the future actor was little, he was quite the troublemaker. 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 his parents went to a party, little Hrithik went to the 13th floor of a skyscraper and started throwing beer bottles at people on the street. When they came home and saw it, Rakesh hit his son for the first time. Later he regretted it because, according to the film director, Hrithik wasn't a bad boy. He was very sentimental and often cried. With attention and care, they filled the 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. When Hrithik was six, he began stuttering, which led to bullying from his classmates at a Scottish school in Mumbai. 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 heartthrob of India dread verbal tests. On test days, he'd pretend to be sick or fake an injury to avoid them. When Hrithik turned 14, he started attending a speech therapist. It helped him overcome the defect, though unfortunately, he didn't conquer it completely.

Acting Career

After school, Roshan earned a Bachelor's degree from Sydenham College of Commerce and Economics. At that time, he also began working as third assistant director on his father's film Kolya. While most guys his age were hitting nightclubs and chasing girls, he was lifting weights, working on his speech, and learning to operate professional cameras. Crew members remembered a shy young man who would tell them, "Everything's ready for filming, sir".

In 2000, Hrithik made his acting debut in his father's film "Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai". Rakesh Roshan wanted to cast established star Shah Rukh Khan, but during a project meeting, Hrithik surprised everyone by saying the role needed a newcomer. His father didn't respond immediately, but a few days later asked Hrithik to come see him. Eventually, the father gave in to his son. Hrithik received two roles rather than one: he played a poor young man in love with Amisha Patel's character, as well as his wealthy twin brother. The young actor won the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut.

In 2002, Hrithik starred in "Na Tum Jaano Na Hum". That year, he also worked on another two projects. All three films flopped. Critics began saying he was nothing without his father and predicted his career would be short-lived. But the actor's confidence didn't waver. "I'm a problem solver, that's why I love challenges. They motivate me".

Hrithik managed to bounce back in 2006. The film "Dhoom 2" gave him the chance to work alongside stars like Aishwarya Rai and Uday Chopra. The fantasy blockbuster "Krrish," also released that year, became a huge international hit. It helped him work through his speech impediment, though he didn't overcome it entirely. In 2013, the sequel "Krrish 3" was released.

Private life of Hrithik Roshan

According to Zoomboola.com, in 2000, the actor married an interior designer, Sussanne Khan. They met at a traffic light while sitting in their cars. When their eyes met, there was an instant connection.

The couple has two children, Hridhaan and Hrehaan. In 2013, the couple got divorced. Sussanne later revealed that her husband had been unfaithful with his co-stars. In 2009, he was linked to actress Barbara Mori. After the divorce, Sussanne and Roshan have stayed friends.

Hrithik's mother-in-law described him as "a caring man who's always ready to help." He's too kind and gentle for the film industry. Roshan has said he still stutters but isn't sensitive about it anymore. The ex-spouses were often seen taking a walk with their children. In 2018, the couple announced that they would probably get married again.

It's worth noting that a few years ago, Sunaina battled severe depression; her weight ballooned to 140 kilograms and she lost all interest in life. Her brother convinced her to undergo gastric surgery, after which she lost 70 kilograms.

Hrithik Roshan Now

2019 was a tough year for Hrithik. In January, his father was diagnosed with throat cancer. The actor shared in his blog: "My father is probably the strongest person I've ever met." A few weeks ago, he was diagnosed with a squamous cell carcinoma of the throat, but he's in good spirits now and is fighting cancer with everything he's got. On January 9, he had a successful surgery and was discharged from a hospital.

That same January brought another scandal. This time, it was the actor's sister Sunaina who sparked the controversy. She started dating a Muslim man. According to Sunaina, the family reacted to her choice with hostility. She claimed her father physically attacked her, and Hrithik threatened to have her committed to a psychiatric facility. The actor maintained that she has mental health issues and can't be trusted.
