Hrithik Roshan

**Hrithik Roshan** (born 10 January 1974) is an Indian Bollywood actor. Roshan had appeared as a child actor in many movies in the 1980s and also appeared as an assistant director in the 1990s. He made his movie debut in his father's film, Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai in 2000 with Ameesha Patel who also made her debut. His performance in the movie was widely appreciated and earned him a Filmfare Awards for Best Actor and Best Male Debut. He followed it with leading roles in _Fiza_ and _Mission Kashmir_ and had a male supporting role in the blockbuster movie _Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001)_, which was India's highest-grossing movie in the overseas market at that time. This was followed by several flops in his career. The flops included _Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage_ which reunited him with Ameesha Patel after their debut film. However, his career later improved when he acted in Koi... Mil Gaya, another film directed by his father and won two Filmfare Awards and he also acted in its sequels _Krrish_ and _Krrish 3_, which were both successful. Roshan expanded his presence in Indian popular culture through television and live performances. In 2011, he served as a judge on the dance reality television series _Just Dance_, marking his debut on Indian television.[3] He has also participated in several national and international concert tours, performing across Asia, Europe, and North America.[4]

In 2017, Roshan starred in _Kaabil_, portraying a visually impaired man seeking justice, which received critical attention for its subject matter and performance.[5] In January 2019, he appeared in the biographical film _Super 30_, based on the life of mathematician Anand Kumar.[6] Later that year, he starred in the action thriller _War_, which emerged as the highest-grossing film of his career at the time and one of the highest-grossing Hindi films of all time.[7]

In 2024, Roshan starred in the action film _Fighter_, his third collaboration with director Siddharth Anand.[8] The film featured large-scale aerial action sequences and marked one of the most expensive productions in Hindi cinema.[9]

As of the mid-2020s, Roshan has won six Filmfare Awards from over thirty nominations, including multiple awards for Best Actor.[10] He has frequently appeared on listings of India’s highest-paid and most influential film actors.[11] Outside cinema, he launched the fitness and lifestyle brand HRX in 2013, which later expanded into activewear, footwear, and wellness-related ventures.[12]

Roshan has also been involved in philanthropic activities and has supported causes related to education and health.[13] He has spoken publicly about overcoming personal challenges, including a childhood stammer and a subdural hematoma diagnosed in 2013.[14] His career, spanning more than two decades, has been marked by commercial success, critical recognition, and sustained prominence in Hindi cinema.
