Hrithik Roshan, one of Bollywood's most beloved stars, made an unforgettable debut in 2000 with the film Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai. His exceptional dancing skills, charming personality, and on-screen presence instantly won the hearts of audiences across the country. The movie was not only a massive box office success, but it also led to a flood of fan love like never before.


After the release of Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, Hrithik became a national sensation. On Valentine’s Day in 2000, a month after the film hit theaters, it was reported that the actor had received more than 30,000 marriage proposals from fans who were completely smitten with him. This overwhelming fan response added to the film's success, which earned over Rs 80 crore at the box office.

The couple had two sons, Hrehaan and Hridaan. Unfortunately, after more than a decade of marriage, Hrithik and Sussanne decided to part ways, and their divorce was finalized in 2014. Despite their separation, they continued to co-parent their children.

Today, Hrithik is one of the most successful actors in the industry, with an estimated net worth of Rs 3,000 crore. He owns a luxurious duplex in Mumbai, valued at around Rs 100 crore, and has a collection of high-end cars worth over Rs 10 crore.
