The Sacrifice Behind Hrithik Roshan’s Stardom.. His Father Mortgaged Their Home

According to the Hurun India Rich List 2026, Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan’s estimated net worth stands at ₹2,500 crore. His journey to stardom, however, began amid significant financial challenges. Following the poor performance of the film ‘Koyla’, his family reportedly faced financial difficulties, and his father, filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, mortgaged their house and cars to finance Hrithik’s debut film, ‘Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai’.

Hrithik Roshan has previously recalled learning about the financial risk only later. He said his mother told him that the house and cars had been mortgaged, which made him realise the extent of what was at stake. ‘Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai’ went on to become a major turning point in his career and established him as a Bollywood star. His wealth today reportedly includes earnings from films, business interests and brand investments, according to the Hurun list.
