About Hridaan’s family
Hridaan is the younger son of Hrithik and his ex-wife Sussanne Khan. His grandparents are actor-filmmaker Rakesh Roshan and actor Sanjay Khan. Even Hrithik is set to turn director with the upcoming film in the Krrish franchise. With Hridaan now enrolling in a filmmaking course, many have speculated whether he will follow the ‘family tradition’.
Hrithik and Sussanne were married from 2000 to 2014. Their elder son, Hrehaan, was born in 2005, and their younger son, Hridaan, in 2008. Even after their divorce, Hrithik and Sussanne continue to be on good terms and co-parent their children.
During the pandemic, the two even moved in to help raise their sons. In 2020, Sussanne had praised Hrithik as a dad. She took to her Instagram account to share a video montage of his sweet moments with the boys and called him ‘the best dad ever’. “When God knew he couldn’t be everywhere he made ‘A Dad’. Happy daddy’s day Rye… u are simply the best dad ever. #rayridzrye,” Sussanne wrote in her caption.
Hrithik Roshan’s recent and upcoming work
Hrithik’s outings at the box office after the pandemic have been a mixed bag. He tasted moderate success with the aerial actioner Fighter. The film, co-starring Deepika Padukone, earned over ₹300 crore worldwide. But his most recent film, YRF spy thriller War 2, was a disappointment at the box office. The pan-India film, which also starred Jr NTR in his Bollywood debut, was panned by the critics, and earned only ₹364 crore on a ₹400 crore budget. The actor is now directing Krrish 4, which he will also star in.
