Tadka trivia
Hrithik Roshan has made Filmfare history like no other industrywalla! When he made his debut in 2000 with dad Rakesh Roshan‘s Kaho naa…Pyaar Hai, he went on to win not one, but two awards at the 46th Annual Filmfare Awards – 2001, in the categories Best Newcomer (Male) as well as winning the popular award of Best Actor, pipping Shah Rukh Khan nominated for Mohabbatein, Anil Kapoor for Pukar, Sanjay Dutt for Mission Kashmir (he starred in this one too), and himself as well, in his second nomination, for Fiza.
After this he made a few forgettable films. Even though he gave them his 200%, but that didn’t work as well at the BO and he was written off as a one film wonder. He resurfaced as the most powerful performer in 2003, when his Koi…Mil Gaya sent the nation and especially it’s kids in a tizzy. At the 49th Filmfare Awards-2004, he once again won two awards, again for the same role, this time being Best Actor in the popular category and Critic’s Choice Best Actor! This time he beat Shah Rukh Khan again, nominated for Kal Ho Naa Ho, Ajay Devgan for GangaJal, Amitabh Bachchan for Baghban and Salman Khan for Tere Naam. And so he not just proved that he was the best, but made history as well.
Last year, at the 52nd Filmfare Awards-2007, he won the Best Actor In A Leading Role (Male) award, for his superb act in Dhoom:2 – Back In Action! And with Jodhaa Akbar already having made a mark, he will give others a tough competition next year too!
