Mumbai, Jan 9 (NationPress) Renowned actor Sanjay Khan has crafted a heartfelt message for his former son-in-law and Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan as his birthday approaches on January 10.

Accompanying a photo of their embrace, Sanjay reminisced about the moments from Hrithik's teenage years, sharing the story of their first meeting.

“I encountered Hrithik Roshan during his teenage years, thanks to Zayed. At that time, I was in search of a new bicycle for my morning routines and casually mentioned it to Zayed. With a playful smile, he responded, “Hrithik’s your go-to for that.””

He continued, “True to his word, Hrithik showed up one morning, eager to discuss the latest models—especially the chic three-speed gear systems. His explanations were clear, precise, and conveyed with a quiet confidence that truly impressed me. Little did I realize that this young man would eventually marry my daughter Sussanne and become part of our family.”

Sanjay reflected on a significant time in his life, stating, “I had just completed the Hilton Golden Palms in Bengaluru. To ensure everything was perfect before the launch—rooms, services, water quality—I invited friends for a trial stay. My wife Zarine, with her innate warmth, agreed immediately. That decision turned out to be magical, especially as Hrithik gained fame with Kaho Naa… Pyaar Hai.”

Their light-hearted conversations unveiled a dedicated professional beneath the glitz: focused, respectful, and eager for advice. He would ask for my insights about the film industry, listening with those sharp, attentive eyes,” he added.

Sanjay expressed his admiration for Hrithik's journey, stating, “I’ve often told friends that his success is rooted in unwavering dedication and mastery of his craft. Today, Hrithik is celebrated as one of the finest in Bollywood—an actor, star, and lifelong student of his art.”

He also acknowledged the amicable split between his daughter and Hrithik.

“From Sussanne come my joys, grandsons Hrehaan and Hridhaan—handsome, wonderful boys raised with her signature integrity. Their separation was graceful, void of bitterness. I often jest to friends that she has gifted Hrithik “two aces of spades.””

As he wished the superstar a happy birthday, he wrote,

“On January 10th, as millions celebrate, I wish Hrithik a birthday filled with health, peace, joy, and prosperity. Happy Birthday, Hrithik. I love you, son. @hrithikroshan @itszayedkhan @suzkr @simonenaturallyinspired @farahkhanali”

For those unaware, Sussanne and Hrithik officially divorced in 2014 after 13 years of marriage. The two continue to co-parent their sons and maintain a strong friendship. Hrithik has found love with actress Saba Azad, while Sussanne is dating actor Arsalan Goni. The four often spend time together and enjoy a positive relationship.
