Hrithik Roshan Celebrates His Team Member's Birthday, Calls Him The 'Wind Beneath My Wings'

Hrithik Roshan, who was last seen in the Vikram Vedha remake, is making a highly anticipated comeback to the big screen with India’s inaugural aerial action film, Fighter. Prior to the film’s premiere, Hrithik participated in a screening at the YRF office in Mumbai. Amidst the buzz, he took a moment to commemorate the birthday of his personal assistant, Sushil Sharma. Sharing the joy on social media, Hrithik posted a video capturing Sushil cutting the birthday cake in the company of the actor and the rest of the team. The festivities were attended by Hrithik’s girlfriend, actress-singer Saba Azad, and cousin Pashmina Roshan. For Hrithik, it was a dual celebration as his personal assistant’s birthday coincided with the release of Fighter.

After the cake-cutting ceremony, Hrithik was seen hugging Sushil and sharing a piece of cake with him. The celebratory atmosphere featured the presence of Hrithik’s bodyguard and Fighter’s director, Siddharth Anand. Notably, the filmmaker is unveiling this latest action film on the first anniversary of his last directorial venture, Pathaan. Meanwhile, sharing the post, the Greek God of Bollywood wrote on Instagram, “Happy birthday to the man who is the wind beneath my wings. It is an honour for me that you are a part of my team Sushil. May we fly together forever? Happy birthday my Fighter. Love you.”

Soon after Hrithik Roshan shared the birthday post for Sushil Sharma, the actor’s followers flooded the comments section with love and warm wishes for his assistant. Not only did Hrithik’s Instagram followers express their love, but also his father, Rakesh Roshan and former wife, Sussanne Khan, extended their birthday wishes.

Rakesh Roshan wrote, “Sushil Birthday Greetings & Happiness Always,” while Sussanne Khan added, “The sweetest post ever. Happy birthday.”

On the eve of Fighter’s release, Hrithik Roshan had a hectic schedule, attending two screenings of the film – one in Delhi and the other in Mumbai. Alongside the film’s female lead, Deepika Padukone, Hrithik visited the national capital for a special screening dedicated to Indian Air Force officers. The event saw the presence of director Siddharth Anand and actor Anil Kapoor and took place at a theatre in Chanakyapuri. Apart from Hrithik, Anil and Deepika, Fighter also features Karan Singh Grover, Akshay Oberoi and Sanjeeda Sheikh in key roles.
