In the emotional post, Hrithik revealed that the poem had originally been written in 2021, but he chose to share it now because some feelings, according to him, are worth repeating. Through the poem, he described Hridaan as someone who openly carries vulnerability while also possessing inner resilience and quiet strength.

Hrithik referred to his son as a “yoddha,” explaining that Hridaan’s strength lies not in being loud or restless, but in being calm, aware and deeply grounded. He also called him a “peaceful warrior,” adding that the world needs more people with such qualities.

The actor’s caption expressed pride in the young man Hridaan has become. Hrithik wrote that life would test him, but he already knew how his son would face those challenges. He ended the note with a simple yet emotional message, telling Hridaan how much he loves him.

The post quickly drew warm responses online. Sussanne Khan commented, “Classic Epic poem,” appreciating the emotional tribute. Fans also praised the actor for openly expressing love and admiration for his children.

Hrithik Roshan has often shared affectionate messages for both his sons on special occasions. Earlier this year, in March, he posted another heartfelt note for elder son Hrehaan Roshan on his 20th birthday. In that message, Hrithik spoke about adulthood and balancing responsibility with the joy and freedom of the child within.

As Hridaan enters adulthood, the message from his father has resonated with many followers, who described it as thoughtful, warm and deeply personal.
