It's normal. Nothing to worry✌
Beetroot pigments are excreted in urine and stools, hence pink - red colour occurs.
It goes away within 24 hrs of stopping consumption of beetroot.

This could be normal but get his urine examination done. Stools could be red or pink after having beetroot but pink colored urine is not.
