Sunaina Roshan, daughter of the famous Roshan family, has lived a life filled with quiet struggles behind the glamour of Bollywood. While her younger brother Hrithik Roshan became a superstar, Sunaina was fighting battles of her own, one that most never saw.

Sunaina spent much of her childhood battling deep insecurities tied to her weight. These feelings only grew stronger over time, affecting her confidence and self-worth. As she stepped into adulthood, these insecurities began to take a toll on her career, limiting the opportunities that came her way and making it harder for her to move forward professionally.

From Alcoholism, Weight Struggles to Beating Cancer: Sunaina Roshan's Journey

Trying to escape her pain, Sunaina turned to alcohol. She later described this as the darkest phase of her life, feeling stuck in a cycle she couldn’t break. In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, she shared, “I have fallen off beds, injured myself, I had a slip from a chair and it was a very, very difficult phase. It’s a vicious cycle because you get a high, your brain is numb, and the next day it’s like you get more anxiety, more panic attacks, dehydration, you have no energy to do anything, so you don’t want to get back into a good state, you start drinking again.”

But there came a moment when she found the courage to tell her parents that she wanted to start over and free herself from the habits that were harming her.

Just as she began to find strength again, life threw another challenge her way, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer. It was a tough fight, but Sunaina didn’t back down. She went through chemotherapy and came out stronger.

But her health struggles didn’t end there. She also battled brain tuberculosis, diabetes, high blood pressure, and a fatty liver.

Throughout it all, one person never left her side, Hrithik. To the world, he may be a Bollywood hero, but to Sunaina, he was her real-life strength. “Hrithik was my inspiration when I had lost mine,” she says. Today, Sunaina stands tall, not just as a survivor but as someone who speaks openly about resilience, health, and the power of starting again.
