An Emotional Thank You to the World
Following the celebrations, Hrithik took to Instagram on 11th January 2026 to share a profoundly heartfelt message of gratitude. He thanked his family, friends, and legions of fans for their overwhelming love. In his unique poetic style, Roshan expressed feeling privileged to share "the same space" on this "earthrock" with everyone who remembered him. He acknowledged not just the direct messages and calls, but also the silent prayers and passing thoughts sent his way, calling the collective affection an "absolute privilege and an honor."
Family and Loved Ones Unite for the Celebration
The birthday gathering was notable for its warm and inclusive guest list, highlighting the strong bonds in Roshan's life. Present on the yacht were his girlfriend, musician and actor Saba Azad, with whom he has been in a relationship since 2023. In a touching display of modern family dynamics, his ex-wife Sussanne Khan was also there, along with their two sons, Hrehaan and Hridaan. Close friend Arslan Goni joined the festivities as well.
The tributes began even before the party. His father, veteran filmmaker Rakesh Roshan, posted a creative fan edit and a simple yet powerful message: "Duggu, love you more every year. Happy birthday!" Saba Azad shared affectionate pictures, writing a wish for him that included "joy," "quiet," "fulfilling creation," and "endless peace." His sister, Sunaina Roshan, posted unseen childhood photos, calling him her "rock" and expressing immense pride in the man he has become.
