Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan marked the 15th anniversary of the acclaimed film 'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' with a heartfelt social media tribute, describing the 2011 movie as a transformative experience that continues to hold personal and professional significance for him.
Sharing a reflective note on Instagram, Hrithik celebrated the film as more than just a cinematic milestone and described it as "a journey that continues to amaze me." The actor reflected on how his character Arjun became closely connected with his own personal journey. "Arjun was a character who allowed me to channel on screen a conundrum I was dealing with in real life," Hrithik wrote. The actor also praised director Zoya Akhtar for creating an environment that encouraged artistic freedom and collaboration throughout the filmmaking process. "As we got closer to shooting, across many conversations with Zoya, I found a director and collaborator who let the actor in me run free. The confidence she had in her process was unshakable, and it allowed her to liberate all of us artists on set," he wrote. Reflecting on the bond shared by the cast and crew during production, Hrithik recalled the experience with warmth and gratitude. "We were a bunch of fools having fun, and in hindsight creating something meaningful in the process. Thank you Zo for allowing us to be fools," he wrote.

Addressing his co-stars Abhay Deol, Farhan Akhtar, Katrina Kaif and Kalki Koechlin, along with the film's technical and creative teams, he wrote: "Together we created a film that continues to speak to audiences even 15 years later. We did this. And most importantly, we had fun while doing it!" He concluded his tribute by expressing gratitude for being part of the project.
