As Bollywood’s heartthrob Hrithik Roshan approaches a personal milestone, the excitement among fans and followers is palpable. The superstar is about to turn 50, and while public figures often mark such occasions with grandiose celebrations, Hrithik has decided to take a more subdued approach. Instead of a lavish public spectacle, the actor has opted for a private gathering with his nearest and dearest.
The Roshan household is currently abuzz with deliberations over where to celebrate the star’s golden jubilee birthday. Will it be a sumptuous soiree at their beloved Khandala farmhouse, or does Hrithik have an aqueous adventure lined up beyond Indian shores? The decision rests with the birthday boy, who has recently returned from an overseas trip to London.
Family patriarch Rakesh Roshan gave us insight into the family’s festive dynamics. “We’re 16 strong, resembling those large, boisterous Punjabi families you see at extravagant weddings,” he commented with a chuckle. It is clear the family’s close-knit spirit is the cornerstone of their celebration planning. Rakesh mentioned that despite the undecided location, the festivities are guaranteed to be a stone’s throw away from India, punctuating his statement with the family’s spontaneous and adaptable travel style.
Hrithik’s birthday bash last year, which unfolded at his plush Juhu residence on January 10th, was a warm affair attended by family and close friends. Among the attendees were celebrities like Farhan and Shibani Akhtar, Zoya Akhtar, Kunal Kapoor, Ritesh and Dolly Sidhwani, and girlfriend Saba Azad, showcasing the camaraderie the actor shares with his peers. This year, the essence of the gathering seems to be relatively unchanged—intimate, with a hearty dash of star-studded presence.
Should the family settle on their farmhouse for the festivities, they wouldn’t be short of space or scenery. Their estate sprawls over an impressive 22,400 sq ft and occupies a lush five-acre plot, with a commanding view of the Rajmachi hills—a fitting backdrop for a celebration. The property, a tranquil haven, was artfully designed by the illustrious architect Grigoria Oikonomou, echoing the family’s taste for class and comfort.
As preparations gain momentum, the air of mystery surrounding Hrithik’s birthday location maintains a grip on the public’s curiosity—but the Roshan family is keeping details firmly under wraps. The intrigue adds an additional layer to the actor’s upcoming ventures. Shortly following his birthday, Hrithik is set to delve into promotional activities for Siddharth Anand’s action-packed ‘Fighter,’ and subsequently, he’ll begin shooting for Ayan Mukerji’s much-anticipated ‘War 2.’ His professional commitments are as dynamic as ever, indicating that turning 50 will not slow down Bollywood’s Greek god.
The actor’s decision to celebrate this landmark age with those he holds dear is a testament to his grounded persona. Despite a life under the relentless gaze of the public, Hrithik Roshan is exemplifying that some moments are best cherished in the warm embrace of family and close friends. As anticipation builds for the reveal of the chosen venue, one thing remains certain: Hrithik Roshan’s 50th birthday will be celebrated with the love and laughter that has been a hallmark of all his previous milestones.
