Macho mega-star *HRITHIK (Duggu) ROSHAN* turned 50 years 'young' on January 10th! But the rejuvenated 'fitness-icon' Hrithik still looks only "Super 30 plus"! As a senior film-journalist- -columnist, I have personally known both Hrithik and his famous dad actor-turned-director Rakesh-jee Roshan for past over 30 years, especially during the pre and post-release and thereafter of his blockbuster musical debut-movie hit 'Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai' (the year 2000).
In real life, 'War' Hrithik has also been a resilient 'fighter' who has faced various odds and turbulence and always emerged a supreme Winner !!
Many years ago, when I interviewed debutant hero Hrithik, I recall him sharing with me, who was his macho-man inspiration. Right from his childhood he considered ‘he-man’ Dharmendra as his idol. Hrithik had said,“ In fact, I even had an inspiring blow-up ( pin-up) large poster of macho Dharam-paaji fixed on my wardrobe... Many years later, before ‘Kaho Naa…’ started, it was Salman Khan who was my buddy-guide for my fitness and body-toning, and then Hollywood star Sylvester Stallone was also among my idol-icons, ”the ‘Super 30’ hunky hero had revealed. Cut to the year 2013, when Hrithik ( along with other top celeb-actors) was seen dancing for a while with Dharmendra on-stage as part of a pre-release promotional event for their Deol home-production movie ‘Yamla Pagla Deewana-2’ at the Novotel Hotel, Juhu. After he stepped down from the stage, Hrithik smiled and said, “Although I have never shared screen space with him, in any movie, at least I shared ‘stage space’ today with my childhood idol Dharam-jee.”
The friendly yet frank Shashank Jare-CEO Filmkraft Productions ( Hrithik Roshan and Rakesh Roshan’s home-production banner) had his brief analysis. “As a human being, Hrithik is a gem of a gentleman, a sentimental man of total commitment—always there when you need him... As a super-actor, he is above everyone and his dedicated involvement in his movie projects takes him to the top. Now Hrithik is a more mature person, a mature professional actor. Must say that Hrithik has inherited many of his great qualities from his illustrious actor-film-maker father Rakesh-jee Roshan,” insists Shashank, who has also put in over 21 years being closely associated with the dynamic, creative Roshans.
We --at bollyy.com and MAYAPURI-- heartily wish heart-throb Duggu (Hrithik), a delightful super 50th B'day! Especially since now in his personal life -- literally Koi... special Mil Gaya -- eminent stunning talented actress-singer-musician Saba Azad !
