Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara completed 15 years on July 15, 2026, and Hrithik Roshan marked the milestone with a heartfelt social media post. Looking back at the beloved coming-of-age film, the actor described it as a journey that continues to amaze him and revealed how playing Arjun mirrored a phase of his own life.
Sharing his thoughts, Hrithik wrote that the film remains one of the most meaningful experiences of his career: "15 years of Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara. A film and a journey that continues to amaze me. Arjun was a character who allowed me to channel on screen a conundrum I was dealing with in real life."
Hrithik Roshan credits Zoya Akhtar for creating a creative space
The actor went on to praise director Zoya Akhtar for giving him the freedom to explore the character and encouraging the cast to perform without fear. He wrote, "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. 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. ♥️"
'We created a film that continues to speak to audiences'
Reflecting on the lasting impact of the film, Hrithik said the experience of making Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara was deeply transformative, both personally and professionally: "Today, when I look back at the journey of filming, just as Arjun found freedom in embracing his true self, so did I. It was a deeply transformative and cathartic experience. One that perhaps cannot be replicated without the right people around."
