Hrithik Roshan has always been vocal about his devotion towards his father, Rakesh Roshan. On April 13, 2020, Hrithik shared a motivating workout video of Rakesh ji.
For a son, his father is always his superhero. No matter how friendly or strange their relationship is, a son always quotes his father in his deeds. Unlike a daughter, who is always vocal about her love for her daddy, a son restrains talking about his relationship status with his father in glossy words. Even if a father-son duo rarely expresses their emotions for each other, their bond is way stronger than anything else. We have seen many such father-son bonds in the glamour world and one such beautiful bond is shared between Hrithik Roshan and Rakesh Roshan.

Hrithik Roshan, often referred to as the Greek God of Bollywood has not just proved his versatility in acting but has given an all-new meaning to fitness. Bollywood was gifted with one of the rarest gems in the year 2000 when Hrithik had made his debut with father’s directorial film, Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai. Since then, there was no looking back for the handsome actor. With his commitment and focus towards work, Hrithik has proved that it is not just nepotism that works, but hard work too pays off. Like every son, Hrithik shares a warm rapport with his dad, Rakesh Roshan and has always been vocal about his love for him.
On April 13, 2020, Hrithik shared an inspirational video of his father, Rakesh Roshan. In the video, the 70-year-old veteran was seen sweating it out with his intense workout giving major motivation to the millennial generation. With aww of his father’s determination, Hrithik wrote, “Alone. But at it! #70running17 #militaryman #fitnessmotivation #daddycool. This seriously is more inspiring to me than anything else. My daily dose. Give him a shout guys.”
In January 2019, Hrithik Roshan had shocked all his fans when he had shared the sad news of his father’s early-stage squamous cell carcinoma of the throat. The Kaabil actor had taken to his Instagram handle and had shared a picture with his dad, Rakesh ji from their gym session. Along with the picture, Hrithik had written a note that could be read as “Asked my dad for a picture this morning. Knew he wouldn't miss gym on surgery day. He is probably the strongest man I know. Got diagnosed with early-stage squamous cell carcinoma of the throat a few weeks ago, but he is in full spirits today as he proceeds to battle it. As a family, we are fortunate and blessed to have a leader like him. Love you Dad.” On Hrithik’s post, Sussanne Khan had expressed her love and wishes for her ex-father-in-law. Sussanne had commented on the post, “He is the stronger than any superhero all will go smoothly” followed by heart emojis.

Hrithik Roshan and Rakesh Roshan are counted amongst the most popular father-son pairs in Bollywood. In a throwback 2012 interview with Filmfare, Rakesh ji had shared interesting details about his and Hrithik’s relationship. He had then revealed, “I wanted to give it [Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai ] the scale it deserved. The music of the film seemed promising. Hrithik and Ameesha Patel had done well. I knew the movie wouldn’t let me down. So I didn’t hold myself back. Because Hrithik gives me time I can tap new genres. No one would have made Koi... Mil Gaya (2003) after Kaho Naa... People said I was mad to make Hrithik play a mentally challenged character. I’m also proud of Kites (2010). We attempted something new – crossover cinema!”
Further speaking about his son’s diligence, he had stated, “Even when he assisted me, he took a keen interest in filmmaking. He never flaunted his status. He stayed with the unit and not in a five star hotel with us. He has seen my failures. He knows that in the long run it’s only hard work that pays. If you don’t attend a party it won’t matter, but if you don’t deliver it will.” (Also Read: Rohit Reddy Celebrates Wife, Anita Hassanandani's 39th Birthday Amidst Lockdown, Invites Her Friends)
