Hrithik Roshan went on to do movies selectively rather than going on a blind spree. He did roles of character which appealed to his fans. He gave stellar performances in movie 'Fiza'(alongside Karisma Kapoor, Jaya Bachchan and Isha Koppikar ) and Mission Kashmir which were some what identical. The actor depicts the role of a youth who is misguided into terrorism. He conveys a good message of national integration in Mission Kashmir.
Yaadein produced by Subhash Ghai was a disappointment. A lot was expected with Yaadein but the movie failed to click. Then came Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham with Karan Johar where in Hrithik Roshan plays the brother of Shahrukh Khan and the son of Amitabh Bachchan. 2002 was a luke warm year. His film releases - Mujhse Dosti Karoge, Aap Mujhe Achche Lagne Lage and Na Tum Jaano Na Hum all flopped at the box office. There seemed to be a lull in the career of the actor. But coming back in 2003 Hrithik Roshan proved his mettle beyond doubt by doing the role of a mentally challenged in Koi Mil Gaya which won him his second Filmfare Award. His role of a mentally challenged boy has been his best performance so far. He also acted in 2002 Bollywood film "Na Tum Jaano Na Hum" along with actor Saif Ali Khan but the film failed at the box office. So the actor had lot of ups and downs.
This was followed by the movie 'Lakshya' directed by Farhan Akhtar(son of Javed Akhtar) where Hrithik Roshan plays a dashing young army officer. His movie 'Krrish' along with sexy actress Priyanka Chopra, old sexy actress Rekha and Naseeruddin Shah and directed by Rakesh Roshan was a follow up of Koyi Mil Gaya and was a great hit.

The only time he has been in a controversy was when some of his remarks were misunderstood by the people of Nepal. However he managed to come clean of it by giving a public statement. Here is another actor who has stayed clean in personal life too. He married Sussanne Khan his childhood sweetheart and has been faithful to her ever since then. Considering the glamorous actresses like Kareena Kapoor, Amisha Patel and Preity Zinta along with whom he has paired his staying clean in personal life is a great achievement. His on screen kiss with Aishwarya Rai was much talked of but never managed to affect his personal life.
The actor has made a strong performance in Jodhaa Akbar where he plays the role of the Moghul king Akbar. His superlative performance has made the movie a must see for Bollywood fans and ensured box office collections. He has started the year on a promising note and has many releases lined up in the year.
