Hrithik Roshan pens a heartfelt note as Jodhaa Akbar clocks 15 years

It’s a special day for Hrithik Roshan as his period drama Jodha Akbar completes 15 years today. It is one of the most loved and acclaimed projects of the actor, which won him rave reviews for the portrayal of the brave yet sensitive Akbar.

Apart from penning a heartfelt note, the superstar also posted some behind-the-scenes images from the making of the period drama.


Taking to his social media, Hrithik Roshan said, “Happy Birthday @ashutoshgowariker. Thank you for trusting me with the monumental responsibility of being a part of Jodhaa Akbar. Your direction & my incredible co-stars will forever be cherished. #15yearsOfJodhaaAkbar”

The Hrithik Roshan starrer was one of the rare films to run in theatres successfully for 6 weeks. Apart from being a commercial success and a critically acclaimed film, Roshan’s iconic scenes from the film including the sword practice, fight scenes, and the trance dance during the qawwali Khwaja Mere Khwaja are still fondly remembered to this day.

Sumukhi Suresh says Hoemonal proves women back bold comedy on their own terms

Sumukhi Suresh Unfiltered: Why women deserve bigger stages as she brings a riskier 'Hoemonal' to London

Highlights:

  • Comedian-creator Sumukhi Suresh frames Hoemonal as a string of lived moments shaped by “hormones” rather than neat narratives.
  • The show has grown in scope since its last London run: larger venues, fuller ambitions and a clearer audience focus on women.
  • Sumukhi discusses risk, crafting unlikeable protagonists (Pushpavalli), founding Motormouth Writers and the practical demands of touring big productions.

Sumukhi Suresh opened Hoemonal by naming the show’s true co-star: hormones. The title, she says, is not a punchline. It works more like a container for all the loose, messy pieces of life that she threads together onstage — the doubts, the desires, the shifts in confidence, and the everyday disorder most women recognise but rarely hear spoken aloud.

Speaking exclusively to Eastern Eye ahead of her London shows, Sumukhi Suresh is direct, thoughtful and quick with her humour, much like she is onstage.
