Hrithik Roshan is the son of actor-director Rajesh Roshan. His career set rolling from his very first film, Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hain (2000). Born on 10th January 1980 Hrithik`s tryst with acting began at an early age. He was seen in Bhagwan Dada starring Rajnikanth and Sridevi in 1980. However his major breakthrough arrived with Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hain that swept the entire nation of its feet. Hrithik Roshan was instantly declared the star of the millennium. It took him only one film to establish himself amongst the leading Bollywood actors.

However it would be wrong to interpret Hrithik`s success as a cakewalk. He had worked very hard on his dance, voice modulation, dialogue delivery and fitness before he joined films. Even after being one of the biggest stars he completely prepares himself for the role he is about to play and, as they say, hard work always pays. As far as debut film is concerned it was the top grosser of 2000 and it won him two awards: Best Actor and Best Male Debut at the Filmfare Awards.

His next film was Fiza which was directed by Khalid Mohammed. He appeared opposite seasoned actors such as, Jaya Bachchan, Karisma Kapoor and Manoj Bajpai. Although the film did not fair well at the box office but Hrithik was praised for his impressive performance. While his debut film earned him a huge fan following and commercial success Fiza brought to him the critical applause. With his second film Hrithik Roshan established himself as one of the versatile actors in the film industry.

After this a string of films were released: Vidhu Vinod Chopra`s Mission Kashmir (2000) with Preity Zinta, Sunjay Dutt and Jackie Shroff; Subhsh Ghai`s Yaadein (2001) with Kareena Kapoor and others. However neither of these films could repeat his initial success. In 2001 he was seen in Karan Johar`s multi starrer Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Despite the huge star cast that included the likes of Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan, Jaya Bachchan and Kajol Hrithik Roshan stole the show with his outstanding performance.

His films in 2002, such as, Mujhse Dosti Karoge, Na Tum Jaano Na Hum, Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage and Main Prem ki Diwani Hoon (2003) did not meet the expectations of the audience. He came back with a bang with his next release in the year 2003-Koi Mil Gaya. Hrithik portrayed the role of a mentally challenged guy and won the heart of millions. His stellar performance was appreciated by all sections. The film, starring Preity Zinta as his leading lady, was a runaway hit. It bagged him his second Filmfare Award in the Best Actor category. Farhan Akhtar`s Lakshya (2004) added another feather in Hrithik Roshan`s career. The film dealt with the transition of a happy-go-lucky young boy to a responsible individual. Hrithik was outstanding in this role as he convincingly represented the transition.

Hrithik Roshan`s next film came after a two year break. This time he again teamed up with his father, Rakesh Roshan after Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hain and Koi Mil Gaya to appear as a superhero in Krrish. It was a sequel to Koi Mil Gaya. The film was one of the highest grosser of 2006. The film also starred Rekha, Naseeruddin Shah and Priyanka Chopra. Once again Hrithik walked away with the Best Actor award at Filmfare awards. In the same year Hrithik Roshan experimented with his roles and settled for Dhoom 2 as an anti hero. Though the film had a commendable star cast but Hrithik again stole the show. This time he was rewarded with another Filmfare Award as the Best Actor.

The audience has last seen Hrithik Roshan as Emperor Akbar in Ashutosh Gowariker`s Jodhaa Akbar (2008). He got rave reviews for his latest flick. For the audience he was perfect in the role of Akbar.
