The equation and bond between a brother and a sister are hard to express in words. While they might fight like animals or wouldn’t want to see each other’s faces when angry, but they can’t think of living without each other as well. Right from the love a brother-sister share to their sweet and happy childhood memories, siblings remember all of this once they grow up. Just like that, we have a very happening, supportive, caring, loving and understanding bhai-bhehen pair from the tinsel town and it’s Hrithik Roshan and his sister, Sunaina Roshan.
So, recently, Sunaina Roshan penned down a heart-wrenching and emotional note dedicated to her brother Hrithik, and their relationship. Sunaina started off her blog as she shared how they were as siblings as kids and how much they used to fight. She writes, “Duggu (Hrithik) is only 2 years younger to me but he would always behave like a protective older brother. He was extremely shy and reserved with others but with me he would always land up having his way. We would fight so much that my mom didn’t know if it was normal (being the only child herself), she would actually call her friends asking them if it was common for two siblings to fight the way we did. Being as shy as he was, it was super easy to get back at him by teasing him among friends. But our love for each other was far greater than our fights.” (You May Also Like: Vivek Dahiya's Chiselled Body In Latest Photoshoot Made Divyanka Tripathi Feel She's A 'Lucky Girl')
Reminiscing how protective Hrithik used to be as a brother when he was a kid, Sunaina pens, “As a brother, Duggu was very protective of me during those growing up years and one day during my teens, he found out that I was dating one of his close friends and that was that. It changed his equation with that guy forever. Being the protective brother he would keep an eye on me and if I ever did anything which he thought was wrong for me, he would be the first one to tell Mom and Dad.”
Hrithik’s sister also went on to talk about their relationship and strong connect with each other. She further went on to write, “Duggu and I were never thick friends, but we shared a very strong connection with each other. When I was diagnosed with tuberculous meningitis the doctor had kept me under monitoring and my parents were told that 36 to 48 hours were critical, and if it passed uneventfully then I would be out of danger and survive. Mom told me much later that all through the night he sat in the Mandir praying for my recovery. He even rescheduled his shoot till the doctor gave a heads-up on my safety. Even when I got diagnosed with cancer he took the lead and must have visited at least 5 doctors before giving my parents a go ahead to let me be treated by a specialist. He had all the questions ready with him when going to the doctor and finally when he met doctor Sachin Almel who answered his queries to his satisfaction, did he let me get treated by him.”
Sunaina also shared details about Hrithik’s passion for dancing and how he overcame this hurdle during his growing years. Here’s what she shared, “For Hrithik, dancing has been a passion since childhood, something that came to him easily. He worshipped Michael Jackson and would enjoy watching him and learning from him. However, he would shy away from performing in front of the family or close friends. While somewhere I had realized that he aspired to be an Actor, he revealed it only when post his graduation Dad wanted him to go abroad for further studies and he refused telling Dad that he was ready to face the camera and that he wanted to be an actor. He was stubborn as a kid and till date he is stubborn.”
She further wrote, “Once he convinces himself of what he wants to do, there is no way any one can shake him up. Probably that’s why he has a strong will power to cross all hurdles. His first setback came early during his preparation days for the debut film. One day his back went into a spasm and was told by doctors that he had a genetic disorder. They told him to forget about becoming an actor because it was a major issue and if he jumped or danced or did action in movies he could be in a wheelchair in 5 years. He was heartbroken at the age of 21, But my brother did not give up… he went to all the doctors possible and when science gave up on him, he gave up on science, instead he starting reading books and researching day and night, basically self-teaching and self-manifesting what he wanted. He has always been unstoppable and he believes that if you have the persistence and determination to achieve your goals, nothing can stop you from succeeding.” (Also Check: After A Failed 1st Marriage, Gautami Gadgil Found Love Again In A Completely Opposite, Ram Kapoor)
Hrithik Roshan was diagnosed with Subdural Hematoma and the entire family was in major stress during this difficult time. Speaking about his dedication for work even during this time, she revealed, “Hrithik is such a kind person with a pure soul and I love him the most in the family. One thing that always strikes me is that I have never heard him talk bad about anyone or about anyone’s movies or work. He trusts people and gives them all a benefit of doubt. He is an introvert and keeps his emotions and his own pain to himself. I have never seen him nor heard him complaining about life. I remember the morning when I was told he had a clot in his brain (Subdural Hematoma) and would have to undergo surgery immediately. I was in my room and he was sitting outside… I was numb for a few seconds not knowing how I would have the courage to face him and see him in pain. We must have gone to about two three doctors on the same day and one constant line he would ask the doctor, “how much time will it take to recover? I have to be back on the sets of a shoot.”
Sunaina Roshan also shared details about Hrithik’s dedication towards his work and how he has evolved as an actor. Sunaina inscribes, “Duggu has always been very dedicated and I still see the same dedication (if not more) in all he does as it was when he was preparing himself for his launch movie Kaho Na Pyar Hai. He would not miss a day of gym even if it would be at 1 am post his tiring day. I remember even when he was down with Viral; he would work out because gymming gives him a high. He understands the responsibility as an actor and coming from a producer, director’s family background values the cost and efforts that a Producer puts in for any project.”
She added, “That’s why while shooting for a song in his debut movie despite of having 103 fever, he shot for it, with a doctor on standby at the sets. I too have worked with him on three movies- Kites, Krrish and Kaabil. He gets into his role completely so much so that he lives his character day in and day out. An interesting fact about him is that he uses a different Cologne for each of his characters and never uses it again.” (You May Also Like: Shilpa Shetty Kundra Congratulates Preggy Neha Dhupia, Poses With Her Baby Bump At An Event)
Sunaina further wrote, “When he was preparing for his role for Krrish, he had two different perfumes, particular to his characters of Rohit (Son) and Krishna (Father), in the film. My brother today is a very patient and calm person but there was a time when he would get mad if anything ruined his hair. Once his hair is set, no one dare touches it else the person would get jacked under the ire of Hrithik. I’m so happy to see duggu so free of all insecurities today, how much he has evolved.”
For the ones who don’t know, Sunaina Roshan is not only a cancer survivor, but she has also shed some extra kilos and went fitness route. Yes, Sunaina lost whooping 50 kilos right from weighing 140 kgs to 65 kgs. Talking about her weight gain, Sunaina once said, “My grandfather fell ill and underwent angiography, two weeks later my brother (Hrithik) had to undergo brainsurgery and then his divorce. I could not handle everything. I went into depression and started eating a lot. Then I shifted to a place of my own and got diabetic, had a fatty liver, and sleep apnoea."
She further added, "I had even developed cardiac problems. I had even developed diabetes and hypertension. I had so many health issues going against me. I had to take psychiatric help. Honestly, I could not get out of bed. I would walk 2 steps and become breathless.”
Sunaina went for Bariatric surgery and talking about the same, she said, “I was 140 kg before I was wheeled in, I am 65 kg today. I lost 50 kg in one year. Yes, one year. That’s why you haven’t seen me around for one year.I was clearly told that I will take time to lose weight because of anti-depressants. I was eating like a maniac when I lived alone but when I shifted back to my parents’ house in August last year, I lost 50 kg in exactly one year."

She also shared the most touching thing that happened after her weight loss. “Duggu (Hrithik) came from the States after a brief stay and told me, “Who is this girl?” I can’t tell you how I feel. I repeat, I have got a new life,” she shared.
