Mumbai: Ahead of his 52nd birthday, Bollywood’s ‘Greek God’ Hrithik Roshan received a special and heartwarming birthday message from veteran actor Sanjay Khan, his former father-in-law.
On Friday, Sanjay took to Instagram to post a special birthday wish, filled with love and blessings for Hrithik.
Sharing a cute picture with Hrithik, and some unseen family photos, Sanjay wrote, “I first met Hrithik Roshan as a teenager, introduced through Zayed. Back then, I needed a new bicycle for my morning rides and casually mentioned it to Zayed. With a grin, he replied, ‘Hrithik’s your guy for advice on that.’ True to his word, Hrithik visited one morning, diving into details about the latest models — like the trendy three-speed gear systems. His explanations were crystal clear, precise, and delivered with a quiet, sincere confidence that left me impressed. Little did I know this young man would one day marry my daughter Sussanne and join our family.”
The veteran continued, “Our casual chats revealed a disciplined professional beneath the stardom: focused, respectful, and eager for insights. He’d seek my thoughts on film life, listening intently with those sharp, absorbing eyes. I’ve long told friends his success stems from unwavering dedication and craft. Today, Hrithik stands as one of Bollywood’s finest — actor, star, and eternal student of his art. From Sussanne come my joys, grandsons Hrehaan and Hridhaan — handsome, wonderful boys raised with her signature integrity. Their separation was graceful, never bitter. I proudly joke to friends that she’s gifted Hrithik “two aces of spades.”

Hrithik, too, had penned a heartwarming message for Sanjay on his 86th birthday last week.
“I still remember the first words you ever said to me when we met – ‘Your name begins with H. It means you are meant for great heights my son!’ I believed it dad. I believed it cause it came from you,” Hrithik wrote.
Hrithik and Sussanne tied the knot on December 20, 2000 in an intimate ceremony at Bengaluru’s Golden Palms Resort.
After 14 years of marriage, the couple parted ways and got divorced in 2014.
The couple has two sons, Hrehaan and Hridhaan, whom they are jointly raising.
Currently, Hrithik is dating Saba Azad and Sussanne is in a relationship with Arslan Goni.
