Now read the story of Hrithik Roshan's childhood, film struggles and becoming a Greek God-

childhood spent in poverty
Hrithik was born on 10 January 1974 in Mumbai to film director Rakesh Roshan. When he was born, his father Rakesh Roshan was a struggling director and hero. He mostly got the role of supporting actor in films.

In 1980, as a director, he made the film Aapke Deewane, which flopped at the box office. From 1980 to 1986, he had the worst phase of his career. The economic situation also became worse.

This is from 1982-83, when Hrithik was 8-9 years old. Due to non-payment of rent, the landlord threw the entire family out of the house. The entire family became homeless overnight. No one helped Rakesh Roshan or his family in this difficult time. Then, Hrithik lived with his mother and sister in his grandmother's house for 6 months.

Later, when Rakesh Roshan made profit from a film, he bought a house, but there was nothing in that house except four walls. The entire family slept on a mat and mattress spread on the floor.

Rakesh Roshan's career took off again with the 1987 film Khudgarj. This film was the first superhit film made under his direction. After this Rakesh made many hit films including King Uncle, Karan-Arjun.

Children did not talk because of stuttering and two thumbs
Hrithik's childhood was not good in many ways. He stammered since childhood. Because of this, other children in the school used to tease and harass him. No one wanted to be friends with Hrithik.

This time was very bad for him. When other children played together, he used to sit alone and cry. He was so troubled by stuttering that he avoided giving oral examinations. Sometimes he used to make excuses like injury and sometimes illness. His family members got him speech therapy done, which helped him a lot.

Hrithik was born with two thumbs, due to which he was made fun of in school. The children considered him different from them and kept a distance.

When the doctor said that he would not be able to dance
At the age of 20, Hrithik was diagnosed with a disease called scoliosis. This disease was related to the spinal cord, in which the bone bends to one side instead of remaining straight. For this reason the doctors said that he would never be able to dance.

But Hrithik proved the doctors wrong. Soon after his diagnosis, he worked on himself for a year with the help of jogging and recovered. Today many Bollywood actors including fans consider him as their inspiration in dance.

Shahrukh Khan was Rakesh Roshan's first choice for Kaho Na Pyaar

Father was shot by the underworld and had decided to leave Bollywood.
When Rakesh Roshan made the film Kaho Na Pyaar Hai, he became the target of the underworld. Even before the film's release, critics had declared the film a blockbuster. On the day of release, Rakesh Roshan was shot in the chest by the underworld. The reason was that people from the underworld had asked for extortion money from Rakesh Roshan, but he refused.

Hrithik was completely broken after seeing father Rakesh in such a serious condition. He had even decided that he would stay away from the film world because he was blaming himself for his father's condition.

After the success of the first film, 3000 proposals were received from girls.

Who does not remember the film Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham? Once Karan Johar saw Hrithik in Manish Malhotra's showroom. Only after seeing him, Karan decided that he would cast Hrithik in the role of Shahrukh Khan's younger brother in this film.

Went into depression during the shooting of War
War is the highest grossing film of Hrithik's career. During the shooting of this film, due to his desire to get a good physique, he was not able to pay attention to his health.

In an interview he had said that he was not completely prepared for this film. Despite this, he was trying to make everything perfect. In such a situation, he had to suffer from adrenal fatigue disease. The situation became like depression. For this reason, he did not even train for the film for 3-4 months, but after some time he realized that this could take a very bad turn in his life. Then with the help of his family and doctors, he worked on himself and got rid of the disease.

Hrithik liked Sussanne since the age of 12
At the age of 12, Hrithik fell in love with his neighbor Sussanne Khan, but he could never express his feelings. With time, his entire focus was on his career, but he still had love for Sussanne in his heart.
