The Bollywood actor is due back in Mumbai later this month after weeks away filming the action movie Dhoom2 in Swakopmund in Namibia and Durban in South Africa.
"He (Rayhaan) is undoubtedly the most important thing in my life," Hrithik said.
"I have come to understand that fatherhood is probably the best thing that has happened to me," he said adding, "A smile from Rayhaan every morning gives me energy to work hard."
Hrithik plays a smooth-talking thief in Dhoom2, which also stars actor Abhishek Bachchan and actresses Aishwarya Rai and Bipasha Basu.
His recent release Krrish, where he plays a superhero who glides over water and leaps over buildings has been a huge hit across the country.
Hrithik will begin shooting for a historical film Akbar Jodha opposite Bollywood beauty Aishwarya in September.
