Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan, celebrated for his stellar performances in blockbuster films, holds a hidden family secret when it comes to his surname. Contrary to public knowledge, Hrithik's actual surname is 'Nagrath,' not 'Roshan.' The revelation unveils a familial connection to his grandfather, the legendary Bollywood music director, 'Roshan Saab.'
According to Vistory website, Hrithik's real name is 'Hrithik Rakesh Nagrath,' reflecting his Brahmin or Punjabi Saraswat heritage. The 'Roshan' in his name is an homage to his illustrious grandfather, whose musical compositions left an indelible mark on the Bollywood landscape. Roshan Saab's contributions include timeless melodies in films like 'Barsaat Ki Raat,' 'Dil Hi To Hai,' 'Taj Mahal,' 'Bahu Begam,' 'Chitralekha,' and 'Anokhi Raat,' among many others.
Despite the family connection to the world of music, Hrithik has carved his niche in the film industry through his exceptional acting prowess.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Hrithik has the most awaited Siddharth Anand’s directorial ‘Fighter’ which is all set to hit the big screens on January 25. The aerial action film tells the story of Shamsher Pathania who fulfills his lifelong dream and becomes a member of the Indian Air Force. The movie also features the actors Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Akshay Oberoi and many others in the lead.
