Hrithik Roshan. This is not just a noun but a story in itself. Perhaps the best looking actor we have in our industry right now, an unbeatable dancer and a heartthrob when it comes to quality action roles!

Starting from Kaho Naa Pyar Hai, a blockbuster movie that fixed him in hearts of so many Indians, he has been a pioneer in bringing so many different genres and pushing the throttle of B-Town even further with Koi Mil Gaya… (First major Sci-Fi movie in Bollywood), Krrish (First mainstream superhero movie in Bollywood), Dhoom 2 (perhaps the best Dhoom movie made yet), and Guzaarish (Only commercial attempt to present euthanasia in the Hindi cinema).

And not to forget that his Greek God looks with that chiseled body are something to die for.

But this superstar didn’t become one so easy. There has been a story that only a few know.

Hrithik’s obsession for acting started at a pretty young age and to pursue his dream further, he turned down a degree at the prestigious UCLA college in the United States.

Instead, he learned the tits and bits of filmmaking, right from scratch.

While acting as an assistant to his director father, Hrithik would often sweep the floor and make tea for everybody on sets.

But he remained determined about his dream- to become the biggest name of the 21st century in Bollywood.

But what came as a major challenge to him as an actor, is that he had a major stammering problem.

Moreover, he was extremely thin (imagine now…). So, he took up dancing lessons and even bodybuilding in order to bulk up his physique. Salman Khan then came to his rescue and helped him build a body that he showed off in his debut movie Kaho Naa Pyar Hai.

But to recover from his stammering issue he had to further take speech therapies to improve his vocal output.

He did for 2 long years before going into shooting and when the film released, it went on to become one of the biggest hits of that year and Hrithik Roshan became an overnight star, and also gave sleepless nights to his contemporaries and predecessors.

Hrithik almost Knuckled me down to the ground and beaten with class. I was scared for a while… this new boy had dragged my stardom back to my old dormitory.

But that was not the end of struggles for him. After the massive success of his first movie, he got beaten at box office consecutively for his next ventures including the movies like Fiza, Mission Kashmir, Yaadein, Mujhse Dosti Karoge etc.

And at the same time, he was diagnosed with Scoliosis. Scoliosis is a medical condition in which the spinal cord gets abnormally ‘S’ or ‘C’ shaped or curved.

Due to this medical condition, Hrithik got bed-ridden for one year.

I was told by his doctors that I could never become an actor or dance again.

But one day I realized that I was not born to live like this.

And so he stood up and prepared himself by building himself from scratch, gaining pounds and muscles, for his next screen appearance. He then appeared in Lakshya, which became one of the most inspiring cinemas of the decade of 2000.

And then it was a wagon of victory for him, be it Krrish or Dhoom 2; Koi Mil Gaya… or Kaabil, he proved his mettle in acting and became one of the most talented actor-dancer and the most handsome actor in Bollywood.

Be it his personal life or career struggles, the man has proved his character time and again. And, with determined willpower, he kept and keeps moving forward.

Today, he is an icon for many and has been the holder the title of being the sexiest man in Asia.
