In a beautiful display of family maturity and deep-rooted respect, Bollywood superstar Hrithik Roshan recently took to social media to celebrate the birthday of legendary actor Sanjay Khan. Despite his divorce from Sussanne Khan years ago, Hrithik’s heartfelt post – where he affectionately addresses Sanjay as “Dad”- proves that some bonds transcend legal labels.
“Meant for Great Heights”
Hrithik’s tribute highlighted the profound impact Sanjay Khan’s words had on his self-belief from a very young age. He recalled their very first meeting, where Sanjay told him:
“Your name begins with H. It means you are meant for great heights, my son!”
Hrithik admitted that this wasn’t just a compliment; it was a prophecy he chose to believe because it came from a man he deeply admired.
The Secret “Magic Time” Ritual
For aspiring actors, the highlight of the post was a “golden” piece of advice Sanjay Khan gave Hrithik during his early years. Whenever Hrithik felt nervous before a shoot, Sanjay told him:
“Before each shot, that moment when the clap covers your face – collect all of you, smile, and whisper ‘magic time’ and then just let it all go!”
Hrithik revealed that he still uses this ritual today, noting that it “works like magic every time.”
Honoring a Television Pioneer
Hrithik also paid homage to Sanjay Khan’s professional legacy, specifically his work on the historical epic The Sword of Tipu Sultan. He praised his father-in-law’s resilience for “cheating death” (referring to the infamous 1989 studio fire) and for setting a gold standard for Indian television long before the age of streaming platforms.
The tribute concluded with a touching nod to the “unconditional love” he found in the corner of the world shared by Sanjay and his late mother. It stands as a powerful reminder that “family” is defined by the heart, not just by paperwork.
