[tps_footer]An emotional Hrithik Roshan along with the rest of the family, launched Sunaina Roshan‘s biography on father Rakesh Roshan titled To Dad With Love.

Hrithik Roshan looked debonair as usual in jeans, t-shirt and jacket, was deeply moved, applauding his sister who had recently been through a tough time, braving illness, saying that in his most challenging moments it was his sisters smiling face and words of wisdom which were his source of strength.

Hrithik Roshan, who is currently filming Bang Bang, has been maintaining a low profile and preferred to do the talking on stage, applauding the women in his family especially his mother Pinky Roshan for being the real super hero amongst them.

Sunaina Roshan, a cancer survivor who constantly exudes a vibrant smile with a sparkle in her eyes, says it was when she worked with her father as an assistant director for Krrish 3 that the idea of a book on struck her.

“I saw a different side of him at work. I felt this man needs to be written about to inspire people,” Sunaina Roshan, the elder of the Roshan’s children, stated at the book launch.

Sunaina said that as she observed her father, she felt he was a man who had to be written about. Whilst the rest of the family supported her efforts, it was kept a secret from father Rakesh Roshan since it was meant to be a surprise.

Rakesh Roshan, who said he had learnt to move on whenever faced with difficulties, said that his children too believed in the same and that they were not the ones to wallow in self pity.

Sunaina stated that it is his never say die spirit which inspires her the most, and it is his philosophy of tough times don’t last, tough people do, which kept her going when she was ill.

To Dad With Love is a collection of rare photographs from Rakesh Roshan‘s childhood to teenage days as well as his days as a young handsome actor, when he turned a husband, father, director and on his journey till now, she touched base with his extended family and friends secretly to get the project going.

There are about thirty people, including names like Shatrughan Sinha, Jeetendra and Rishi Kapoor to whom Sunaina spoke to for getting the most candid information out about her father.

To Dad With Love, the book’s foreword is written by Hrithik Roshan. Sunaina said amongst all, Hrithik was the toughest to get hold of to write the foreword for the book, but when he did, he did it with all his heart.

Here’s wishing the entire Roshan Family out heartfelt congratulations.[/tps_footer]
