Hrithik Roshan: What Makes Him a Bollywood’s Ultimate Heartthrob

Hrithik is admired for his debonair personality, captivating presence, superb dancing skills, and his toned physique.

He has still had a stronghold in Indian cinema for decades. It seems impressive too, when he is ageing like a fine wine. The actor will turn 52 now.

Even at the age of contemporary actors like Varun Dhawan, Tiger Shroff, Ranveer Singh, and Ranbir Kapoor, there is no single drop in Hrithik’s fan following.

Not to forget, Hrithik Roshan became the third-most handsome face in the list of the World’s Most Handsome Men in 2025.

Blockbuster Debut with Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai

Hrithik Roshan made his blockbuster debut with his father Rakesh Roshan’s directorial venture ‘Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai’ in 2000.

He starred opposite Amisha Patel, who also made her debut in this film as a leading heroine. The film collected Rs 70-80 crore worldwide.

The songs from the movie, especially the one sung by Lucky Ali, ‘Ek Pal Ka Jeena’, topped the musical charts.

Hrithik became an overnight star from the success of his debut film. He soon became a youth icon and built a massive female fan following. His success caught the attention of film directors who cast him in more movies.

When Salman Khan became Hrithik’s Fitness Mentor

Before making his unforgettable debut, Hrithik didn’t have the physical stature to make him appear as a hero. He was too skinny.

Thanks to Salman Khan, who was his close friend. It was he who encouraged him to work on his body and develop a stronger on-screen personality.

However, his success faded with a series of films that failed to make a mark at the box office. It was a rough phase for him, as he was compared to actor Kumar Gaurav, labelling him as a one-hit wonder.

Back on Track

But things improved when Hrithik got back on track with Koi Mil Gaya and the Krrish series. Both movies did well at the box office. This helped Hrithik to bounce back again. 

After these films, he shone in other notable films, Dhoom 2, Jodha Akbar, Lakshya, Bang Bang, Guzaarish, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, Super 30, Fighter, and War.

Although there were some crashes like Vikram Vedha at the box office, it didn’t have much effect on his stardom.

Beyond acting, Hrithik inspires his admirers with his discipline, quiet nature, fitness, and dignity in public.

Success with Indian Superhero Krrish

When it comes to superheroes, we are all familiar with Marvel and DC superheroes such as Batman, Spider-Man, and the Avengers. Sadly, there aren’t many popular Indian superheroes which kids remember.

Leaving some exceptions like Chacha Chaudhry, Motu Patlu, and Chota Bheem, there are not many Indian superheroes who are liked by the Indian audience. Shaktimaan became popular among kids, but lacked consistency further.

It was then that the character Krrish, developed by Hrithik Roshan, became a craze among kids from its first instalment.

Kids liked watching Kid Krrish, an animated version of the same character. So far, three franchises of the Krrish series have hit the theatres.

It began with Koi Mil Gaya (2003), Krrish (2006), and Krrish (2006), and Krrish 3 (2013). Now wait is for Krrish 4. Officially, it is under production. This will mark Hrithik’s debut as a director.

Personal Life

Hrithik was married to his long-time girlfriend, Suzanne Khan, the daughter of veteran actor Sanjay Khan.

Even though they are separated now, what connects them is their sons - Hrehaan and Hridhaan.

Currently, the actor is in a relationship with actress-singer Saba Azad. They have been dating since 2022.

Hrithik was rumoured to have had an affair with Barbara Mori (Kites) and Kangana Ranaut. But there is no confirmed evidence.

Social Media Presence

Every year, his social media platforms are flooded with happy birthday wishes, fan-made videos, and throwback clips. On X, he has 32 million followers and 49 million on Instagram.

Unlike other actors, Hrithik prefers to celebrate his birthday in a low-key affair. This day, he prefers to surround himself with his loved ones, which shows his decent and grounded nature.
