Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan took to Instagram to celebrate his father, veteran filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, on his birthday with a heartfelt note and a series of unseen throwback photos.

Hrithik Roshan shares emotional birthday note for father Rakesh Roshan: “I stand proud, cause I am your son”
In his emotional tribute, Hrithik thanked his father for instilling resilience and strength in him. “Happy birthday to you papa. Thank you for building this resilience inside me. When life gets hard, it feels like home. Nothing can and nothing will shake the soldier in me,” the actor wrote.
Reflecting on the wisdom he has gained over the years, Hrithik added, “Over the years I have learnt to see the opposite as well, and I know you have too. The discovery of worthiness within, the simplicity of just being, the collapse of external validation. Today I walk in balance, as do you. Never complete, but no longer empty.”
The actor credited Rakesh Roshan for guiding him through the toughest phases of his life. “I would have never reached this place of equanimity, this place of wisdom, without first traversing the hard path. Thank you for building that soldier in me. For being the best teacher one could ask for. I stand proud (and strong), cause I am your son. I love you.”
The deeply personal note resonated with fans, many of whom praised the father-son bond. Industry colleagues also poured in birthday wishes for Rakesh Roshan, who is celebrated not just as a filmmaker but also as a mentor to his son and countless others.
Hrithik and Rakesh Roshan share more than just a personal connection; they have also been one of Bollywood’s most successful father-son collaborators. Their iconic sci-fi franchise, which began with Koi Mil Gaya (2003) and continued with Krrish (2006) and Krrish 3 (2013), remains a fan favourite. The duo is now gearing up to reunite for Krrish 4, one of the most anticipated projects in Hindi cinema.
Hrithik’s post serves as both a birthday wish and a testament to the enduring influence of Rakesh Roshan, a figure who has shaped not only his son’s career but also his character.
