Hrithik Roshan (Hindi: ऋतिक रोशन, Urdu: رتک روشن, pronunciation: /rɪt̪ɪk rɔːʃən/; (born January 10, 1974), nicknamed Duggu, is a prominent Bollywood actor.

Career

Hrithik's first movie role was as a child artist when he was six years old in the 1980 movie Aasha, when he appeared in a dance sequence as an extra. He then appeared as a child artist in Aap Ki Deewane (1980) and Bhagwan Dada (1986).

Hrithik debuted as a leading man in the 2000 Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai opposite first-time actress Amisha Patel. The film was directed by his father and proved to be very successful at the box office: It was the highest grossing film of 2000 and winner of the Filmfare Best Movie Award. Hrithik's performance earned him the Filmfare Best Debut Award and the Filmfare Best Actor Award. That same year, Hrithik also starred in Fiza and Mission Kashmir. They were moderately successful at the box office.

In 2001, Hrithik starred in Yaadein and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. The latter film did extremely well at the box office becoming the highest grossing film of 2001. [1]

Hrithik had a bad year in 2002 when all three of his releases failed to turn a profit. [2]

In 2003, his career was back on track with Koi Mil Gaya, which Hrithik's father Rakesh directed. It was the highest grosser of the year. It won many Filmfare Awards, including another Filmfare Best Actor Award for Hrithik. He only had only one release in 2004, Lakshya, directed by Farhan Akhtar. Lakshya did not do as well at the box office as expected [3] but critics called it his most impressive performance so far. [4]

Hrithik took a two-year break from acting before resurfacing with the superhero film Krrish [5] which released in June 2006. Krrish has been a major box office success. [6]

His most recent release is Dhoom 2, a sequel to the 2004 hit Dhoom. In this film, he plays a negative role (a villain) for the first time. The film released on November 24, 2006 and is already breaking box office records. [7]

His forthcoming films are Jodha-Akbar and Kismat Talkies which are scheduled to release in 2007.

Personal life

Hrithik Roshan was born in Mumbai, India, to Pinky and actor/director Rakesh Roshan. He is the nephew of well-known music director Rajesh Roshan.

Roshan is married to Suzanne Khan (who is now Suzanne Roshan), his high-school sweetheart. Suzanne is the daughter of actor/director Sanjay Khan and sister of actor Zayed Khan. Film clans (see List of Bollywood film clans) tend to intermarry.

Hrithik Roshan and Suzanne Khan/Roshan welcomed their first child, a baby boy, into the world on March 28, 2006, at 3:08pm at Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai, India. The child was named Hrehaan.[1]

Controversy

At the London press conference for his 2006 film Krrish, he said that he knew it was time to leave Shanghai and Hong Kong after six weeks of stunt training and go home when his eyes started "turning into little slits like the Chinese."[8] The remark was widely seen as evidence of racism. Another Bollywood figure, actress Rimi Sen, recently made news for remarks viewed as racist.
