Being as a child artist, his first movie was Aaha (’80) when he was just six yrs old and played a role of a extra dancing boy. He too, appeared in Aap ki Deewane in same year and in Bhagwan Dada (’86). Hrithik is a determined and has build-up a v-shape body.

Hrithik debuted his first film as a youngster in Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai (’00) which was directed by his father, opposite the starlet Amisha Patel and not only it was a successful film at box office but also a highest grossing movie of ’00 .

In the starting year of ’01 Hrithik shooted Subash Ghai film Yaadein. While shooting film Yaadein Hrithik saved the life of Director and Producer Subash Ghai from drowning.
