The country wide hysteria following the release of his first film Kaho Naa Pyar Hai in 2000, is known as Hrithikmania and is unprecedented. The look of his muscular, chiselled body started a fitness boom in India. He often supports charities of various kinds and known as a perfectionist and control freak. He wanted to quit the film business altogether after his father Rakesh Roshan was shot at and wounded by hitmen sent by the Bollywood mafia, but changed his mind.

The events made headlines all over the world and the governments of Indian and Nepal got involved as well. Anti Indian / Hrithik sentiment died down quickly when it became clear that the alleged statements were a fabrication and the rumors were spread by a malicious third party, possibly the Bollywood mafia, still pissed about not getting the foreign rights to Kaho Naa...
