Bollywood Trivia: Did You Know Hrithik Roshan Was the Only 'Real' Scuba Diver in 'ZNMD'?
We were today years old when we found that Hrithik Roshan, who was fearful of waters in 'ZNMD', was actually the only trained scuba diver in the squad.

Remember when Arjun, brought to life by Hrithik Roshan, conquered his scuba diving fear in ‘ZNMD’ and emerged with a profound underwater odyssey? It wasn’t just about facing fears; it was a plunge into a deeper understanding of life beyond the daily grind.? Well, here’s a surprising twist – Hrithik, the on-screen Arjun, was the lone certified scuba diver among the quartet, leaving Katrina Kaif, Abhay Deol, and Farhan Akhtar in his wake. To top it off, he was the least fazed while filming the scene. Yes, we were today years old when we stumbled upon this mind-boggling Bollywood trivia, courtesy of a viral post that spilled the beans!

The ‘X’ user and cinephile, Mimansa Shekhar, unleashed this revelation on social media alongside a gripping clip of Arjun taking the ‘dive of a lifetime’. “DYK — #HrithikRoshan is a certified scuba diver unlike his Arjun in ZNMD. He was the only one who got inside the freezing water. Others were body doubles. He said for him, the deep sea diving was ‘entire film in one moment’ — बस सांस लेते रहो!” she revealed.

Well, who would’ve guessed that the reel and real narratives were at opposite ends? This revelation sent shockwaves across the internet. “Didn’t know. How cool,” exclaimed one user, while another declared, “This scene is a different high.”

Furthermore, rumour has it that Hrithik, well-acquainted with the activity, had dived multiple times before. The irony deepens as Katrina Kaif, playing the confident scuba diving instructor Laila, grappled with fear and claustrophobia during the underwater shoots. It was Hrithik who played the role of the supportive guide throughout, ensuring she nailed her part.

But, hold onto your popcorn – the intrigue doesn’t end there! Unveiling another layer of irony, Farhan Akhtar, in contrast to his character Imran’s fear of skydiving, revealed a love for the sport, boasting an actual certification as a skydiver. Out of the trio, he was the only one who braved the skydiving sequence for the shoot, as Hrithik and Abhay opted to rely on their stunt doubles.
