Hrithik Roshan has congratulated mountaineer Arjun Vajpai, who has become the youngest person in the world to have scaled six peaks above 8,000 metres and says that he will inspire generations to come.

“Arjun’s story is extraordinary. His unmatched passion and desire to break out of the ordinary is what has helped him achieve this monumental success.

“I am certain he will inspire generations to come and I am honoured to have portrayed him on screen for the Risk Takers of India campaign,” Roshan said in a statement.

Vajpai, 24, scaled Kanchenjunga, the world’s third highest peak, earlier this week.

Unstoppable from the age of 16, Vajpai has established himself as one of the youngest Indian professional mountaineers since he was named the ‘Third Youngest Indian to climb Mt. Everest’ in 2010.
