Yesterday was the 12-year anniversary of 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara,' a movie that is significant for a number of reasons and is regarded as one of the best buddy films ever made in India. In addition to garnering positive reviews, the film had a huge box office impact, and even now, fans are impatiently awaiting a sequel. Before all the glory, Hrithik Roshan had to heed the warnings of his loved ones about agreeing to star in the movie.

Hrithik Roshan reflected in an interview, "I remember when I signed this film, a lot of my dad's friends were truly worried about me. Because of their love for me, they thought I was making a serious mistake. They were worried since I wasn't the only hero, but one of the three main protagonists. It was against the accepted wisdom at the time, which mandated maintaining star status.

But this movie empowered me since it depicted a story that I actually believed in, asserted Hrithik Roshan. I made the decision to disregard conventional norms and give employment that aligned with my personal goals first priority. Status is meaningless because it's just something that other people have given you."
