Bollywood ‘superhero’ and heartthrob of millions of females world wide, Hrithik Roshan, turns 37 on Monday.
Here are some trivia about the macho Roshan junior, as he prepares to rejoice the all important day in his life.
Hrithik debut in the glamorous world of Bollywood as a child actor in films like- ‘Aasha’, ‘Aap Ke Deewane’, ‘Bhagwan Dada’.
Both ‘Bhagwan Dada’ and ‘Aap Ke Deewane’ featured his father Rakesh Roshan in the lead role.
Later on Hrithik also followed his father and went on to help his father as an assistant director in films like “Karan Arjun” and “Koyla”, before making his debut in the blockbuster ‘Kahoo Naa Pyar Hai’ that was directed by his father.
In this exciting career, Hrithik has received multiple awards besides winning his first international award at the Golden Minbar International Film Festival for his performance in the period film ‘Jodhaa Akbar’.
It is said that in the year 2000, on the occasion of Valentine’s Day, Hrithik Roshan received an an unbelievable 30,000 marriage proposals. Surely this actor knew how to attract his female fans.
Hrithik’s list of favourite films include names like- ‘Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge’, ‘Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai’, ‘Sholay’, ‘Pretty Woman’ and’ When Harry Met Sally’.
In the coming months, Hrithik will be back with a couple films like ‘Zindagi Na Milegi’, ‘Dobara’ ‘Agneepath’, to spell his magic once again on the big screen.
Ranbir Kapoor voted Sexiest Asian Man
Ranbir Kapoor, the heartthrob of the nation, has been voted ‘Sexiest Asian Man’ as per a survey conducted by the London weekly Eastern Eye. Bollywood hunk John Abraham narrowly missed out on the top spot by finishing second while Hrithik Roshan occupied the third spot. R&B star Jay Sean and Pakistani singer-actor Ali Zafar bagged the fourth and fifth spots.
With Ranbir topping the Sexiest Asian Man poll, one can safely state that his fan following seems to be growing manifold with each passing day.
Hrithik, Farhan and Abhay Deol sing for Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara
By now its common knowledge that Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar and Abhay Deol would be seen together in Zoya Akhtar’s eagerly awaited film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. However, what many people don’t know is the fact that besides acting, the trio of Hrithik, Farhan and Abhay have also sung a song in the film.
While Farhan is no amateur when it comes to singing (having sung most of the songs in his debut flick Rock On) and even Hrithik has done his fair share of singing (in films like Kites and Guzaarish), it was only Abhay Deol for whom this was a completely new experience. Nevertheless the ‘Dev D’ actor did manage to croon a few lines.
The song composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy has already been recorded and the musical trio certainly seem pleased with the singing efforts of Hrithik, Farhan and Abhay. This one surely will be one of the songs to look forward to next year.
Sanjay Dutt to play the main villain in Agneepath remake
One film that has been in the news ever since its announcement has been the remake of Agneepath to be directed by debutant Karan Malhotra and produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.
By now its common knowledge that Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra star in the lead roles of this eagerly anticipated remake. However, the latest development is that besides Hrithik and Priyanka, Sanjay Dutt has also been signed for the film. Apparently, Sanjay would be playing the main villain in the remake (a role played by Danny Denzongpa in the original version)
It may be recalled that Hrithik and Sanju did clash with each other on-screen in Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s Mission Kashmir almost 10 years ago. Now with Hrithik playing the hero and Sanju the villain, it would be interesting to witness this clash all over again.

Shabana Azmi goes ga-ga over Hrithik’s performance in Guzaarish
Ever since they played mother and son in Fiza, Jaya Bachchan treats Hrithik Roshan like her own son. But now she has competition. Shabana Azmi, who saw Guzaarish, has adopted Hrithik. The multiple National award-winning actress says she has not seen a performance like Hrithik’s in Guzaarish in a very long while. “If I had a son I’d like him to be Hrithik. His eyes speak volumes. His body language and his whole demeanor is breathtaking. Main to fidaa ho gayi. Actor ho to aisa.”
Hrithik is overwhelmed by Shabana’s response. Says the superstar, “Of all the compliments I’ve received for Guzaarish so far, Shabanaji’s is the best. Actually, I haven’t had time to allow any of the compliments to sink in.”
So who says an actor cannot compliment another even if they are competing for the same roles and within the same box-office parameters can’t be friends?
After the screening, Abhishek was seen profusely complimenting Hrithik, thereby putting an end to all the talk about the two not seeing eye-to-eye since Hrithik’s pairing with Aishwarya is so much in-demand. “You should make an action film. There’s so much pent-up violence within you,” Abhishek was heard telling Sanjay Bhansali after the screening.
The Big B who has worked with SLB said the film was magical. “The way Sanjay creates on celluloid is just so awesome. Everything and everyone perfect.”
When asked to comment on his bahu Aishwarya’s performance, the Big B said she was “restrained and dignified”. Just like the Big B’s comment.
Hrithik Roshan down with malaria
It’s an important week for Hrithik Roshan as his big film Guzaarish releases this Friday (Nov 19) but as luck would have it, Hrithik has fallen ill. The actor has been unwell for almost ten days now with high fever and body ache and it’s reported that he is suffering from malaria.
In spite of having high fever, Hrithik continued with the promotions of Guzaarish all of last week. He shot for a special episode of Zee TV’s Sa Re Ga Ma Pa in Mumbai, and then even travelled with co-star Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for a promotional tour to Dubai and London. After his return to Mumbai, Hrithik even travelled to Ahmedabad on Saturday to promote his film, but crashed immediately after returning home.
Since then, Duggu has been feeling very weak and been on bed rest for most of the time. In fact Hrithik even cancelled his trip to Kolkata for the promotions, as there was no way he could travel in this condition.
We hope the actor is back to being his fittest very soon and wish him a speedy recovery.
