Sharing the poem that Hrithik wrote in 2021, the actor wrote, "Im so proud of the vulnerability you wear so openly, but right behind it- there exists a second skin... resilient, unshaken. It's easy to miss. But I've seen it - again and again. You are a raging fire... behind calm eyes. You are a yoddha of a different kind. Not loud, not restless - but steady, aware and deeply strong. A kind so rare it often has me bewildered. A peaceful warrior. This world needs more of them. The world will test you. But I already know how you will meet it. Happy 18th my son. I love you."
Many reacted to the post, including Hrithik's ex-wife, Sussanne Khan, who commented, "Classic Epic poem."
Saba Azad also commented on the post, "Ridza."
Hrithik's mother, Pinkie Roshan, wrote, "Duggu,, what a beautiful birthday message. Great words from a great poet."
Earlier, Sussanne also posted a birthday message for Hridaan, along with a video montage of her son's pictures, capturing his growing-up journey.

Showing support for her son, Sussanne added, "WELCOME to Adulthood.. from here to beyond Time.. spread your goodness and individuality... Near and Far I am always with you relentlessly. love you beyond words.. and so so proud to be your mama."
