Hrithik Roshan has carved a niche in the industry despite being a star kid. He has created a distinct era with his phenomenal dance moves and performances. From Kaho Naa... Pyaar Hai, Koi Mil Gaya, Jodhaa Akbar, Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara to Super 30, the actor has showcased his acting prowess. However, he regrets turning down two films that became critically acclaimed- Dil Chahta Hai and 3 Idiots, both headlined by Aamir Khan.

Hrithik Roshan, who is busy gearing up for the release of his much-awaited movie War 2, during the film's promotions in Sri Lanka, opened up about his career regrets. He said, “I said no to Dil Chahta Hai, and I said no to 3 Idiots. But I think Aamir [Khan] was the right choice for both those films. It had a destiny."

According to Deccan Chronicle report, the actor believed that destiny played the role. He stated, "But as they say, it’s destiny. Aamir was awesome and carried those films; they belonged to him."
