"My favourite young man": Rakesh Roshan celebrates grandson Hridhaan's 18th birthday with adorable post
Mumbai, May 1
The Rakesh Roshan family had a special reason to celebrate as his grandson, Hridhaan Roshan, turned 18 on Friday.
As Hridhaan celebrated his special day, the veteran filmmaker shared a heartfelt birthday note along with a picture of the two.
Rakesh shared an adorable picture featuring himself with Hridhaan, who is the younger son of actor Hrithik Roshan and his former wife Sussanne Khan. Along with the picture, he wrote a simple yet emotional message: "And just like that, he is 18! Happy birthday to my favourite young man, Hridhaan Roshan."
Take a look
Hrithik and Sussanne, who got married in 2000, welcomed their elder son, Hrehaan Roshan, in 2006 and Hridhaan in 2008. The couple later separated in 2013, with their divorce finalised in 2014.
Rakesh Roshan first made his mark as an actor and appeared in many films during the 1970s and 1980s. He later became one of Hindi cinema's successful filmmakers. His directorial work includes 'Khudgarz,' 'Khoon Bhari Maang,' 'Kishen Kanhaiya,' 'Karan Arjun,' 'Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai', 'Koi... Mil Gaya' and the 'Krrish' franchise.
Meanwhile, the Roshan family continues to stay busy with new projects. His son, actor Hrithik Roshan, is all set to mark his directorial debut with 'Krrish 4.' The superhero film is being backed by Yash Raj Films in association with Rakesh Roshan. Hrithik will also act in the film while handling directing duties.
Apart from that, Hrithik is also entering the OTT space as a producer with 'Storm,' a thriller set in Mumbai. The project is being made for Prime Video. The first look of the project was unveiled at the Prime Video 2026 Release Slate event held in Mumbai recently.

Time flies! I still remember when Hrithik's kids were just little boys in the paparazzi photos. Now Hridhaan is 18 and Hrehaan is 19! Rakesh Roshan's note is so sweet. But honestly, I'm more excited about Krrish 4 finally happening! Hope Hrithik does justice to the franchise.
Family first, always. Rakesh Roshan has given us so many iconic films, but this post shows his real legacy is his family. ❤️ Happy birthday Hridhaan! Also, interesting to see Hrithik stepping into direction with Krrish 4. Hope it doesn't affect his acting quality.
It's lovely that despite the divorce, the Roshan family stays connected and celebrates together. Hrithik and Sussanne have handled co-parenting with grace. Wishing a wonderful 18th birthday to Hridhaan! 🎂
The Roshan family is pure class! Rakesh Roshan's simple yet emotional words show that age doesn't matter when it comes to loving your grandchildren. Hridhaan looks so grown up! And that throwback to Rakesh's directorial career - what a legend. Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai still remains one of my favorites!
Happy birthday Hridhaan! 🎉 Such a sweet post. But can we talk about how Hrithik is now directing Krrish 4? That's a huge responsibility! Hope he doesn't get overstretched like some stars who take on too many roles.
