Who is Hrithik Roshan?

Born on January 10, 1974, in Bombay (now Mumbai), Maharashtra. He was raised in a Bollywood family. His father, Rakesh Roshan, is a film director, producer, and actor. His mother, Pinky, is the daughter of producer and director J. Om. Prakash. He got married to Sussanne Khan in 2000 and the couple divorced in 2014. They have two children together.

As a kid, the Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai star was made to feel different by a section of his peers because of his stammering and the extra thumb he has on his right hand (Hyperdactyly). This resulted in him feeling isolated during his school days. The 48-year-old actor studied at Sydenham College of Economics where he participated in dance and music festivals while completing his undergraduate studies in commerce. 

Roshan started his career at the young age of six when he danced in a song in the film Aasha (1980). After this, he acted in various small roles until he started assisting his father with the latter’s films like Khudgarz (1987) and Karan Arjun (1995). In the earlier days, he also swept the floors and made tea for the crew.

While Roshan was not always a part of successful films, he managed to establish himself as a bonafide superstar.
