Hrithik Roshan’s Work Call Scene In Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara Is All Of Us Today: ‘This Is Maturity’

Stuck in the 9-5 routine, we often crave to break free from the shackles of the corporate world once in a while. Isn’t that the reason we book vacations, just to feel a sense of freedom, even if that’s temporary? And taking a trip with friends is sometimes the only refreshment we need. Back in 2011, Zoya Akhtar’s Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, featuring Hrithik Roshan, Farhan Akhtar, Abhay Deol and Katrina Kaif, portrayed a similar scenario that still brings a smile to our faces.

One of the scenes that stood out was where Hrithik Roshan’s character, Arjun, was forced to join an online meeting even during the road trip. The sequence was indeed hilarious and made us wonder why on earth anyone would go on a vacation only to end up working? But cut back

to the present, haven’t we all become Arjun in some twisted way? We have to take calls from our bosses, send quick emails, and attend 5-minute meetings even while sipping coffee by the beach? The movie scene, sadly, has become a reality for many of us.

Internet Relates To Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara Scene

Now, the Internet has been circulating the particular scene from Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, especially with the festive season underway, which is equal to escapades for some. Here are some of the X-reactions that might be just too relatable, packed with real-life lessons.

“Maturity is realising Hrithik was doing his best to skip the generational poverty. Maturity is also realising that what Katrina told him about life was exactly what his ex-girlfriend also told him (by yelling). Katrina was prettier and softer in her messaging – hence it clicked with Hrithik,” noted a user.

For context, the comments referred to the scene where Katrina Kaif’s character Laila urges Arjun to slow down, live in the moment, and not let his obsession with work and money rob him of life’s simple joys.

Film Buffs Share Key Takeaways From Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

“Maturity is realising that conquering fear was the trigger that transformed him. She just channelled it at the right time,” pointed out a film-lover.

“Abhay Doel was born with a silver spoon and had never struggled to be successful. Farhan was an a****le. Only one character was truly self-made and driven. Katrina broke him and made him similar to John Doe! Too many life lessons,” shared another.

“Work till 40 and then enjoy retirement. That was the perfect plan until Katrina ruined it,” lamented an individual.

“Maturity is realising that this movie was about Rich privileged people realising about life in a foreign land, while on a Bachelor trip,” read an honest remark.

“Money can’t buy everything, but not having money makes a hell of a lot of things difficult,” commented someone else.
