Hrithik Roshan recently made India proud by being honoured at the Joy Awards 2025 held in Riyadh. The Bollywood superstar joined global icons such as Morgan Freeman and Matthew McConaughey at the prestigious event, celebrating achievements in global entertainment and cinema.
Taking to Instagram on January 29, Hrithik shared a reel capturing memorable moments from the event, where Freeman and McConaughey were also seen accepting their accolades. Expressing his gratitude, Hrithik wrote, “What a joy it was to be at the @joyawards 2025 in the presence of some of the best talents from across the globe! Thank you @turkialalshik for having me be a part of this celebration of Global Entertainment and cinema.”
The reel captured glimpses of the award ceremony, with Hrithik looking dapper and radiant as he embraced the global recognition alongside Hollywood heavyweights.
On the professional front, Hrithik was last seen in Fighter, an action-drama film co-starring Deepika Padukone and Anil Kapoor. The movie, centered on aerial combat, required Hrithik to portray an IAF officer, a role that demanded intense preparation.
Speaking to Pinkvilla, Hrithik revealed the challenges he faced while preparing for Fighter. “I went through three transformations. I didn’t meet my friends for a year and was sleeping at 9 pm every day. It was tough, and I realized I couldn’t continue living like that,” he admitted. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a balance, saying, “This is important to do if you are trying to find a place. I found a place for myself, and I need to now be engaged and aspire to live good days. That’s what we should all finally end up aspiring to.”
Looking ahead, Hrithik Roshan is gearing up to reprise his role as Major Kabir Dhaliwal in the much-anticipated action thriller War 2. Fans are eagerly awaiting his return to the screen in this high-octane sequel.
