The tweet by the user read, "Watching Koi...Mil Gaya on TV and a weird observation... Was it an on purpose decision to give an extra thumb to Jadoo just like Rohit Mehra, which was the major reason for the connect between the two characters?"

Hrithik responded and wrote, "Yes. It was to help Rohit feel familiarity. But we had to keep it subtle as the thumb didn't look as great as I wanted." The actor was impressed by his fan's observation and he wrote: "You have a good eye my friend. Stay safe."

In the year 2018, the film completed 15 years and on the occasion Hrithik took to Instagram to share an extensive post and wrote about how he connected with the character Rohit. He shared, "Koi mil gaya gave birth to Krrish, and in a weird way playing Rohit gave birth to a newfound strength in myself. Rohit helped me understand every single thing I went thru as a boy with a stutter. And made me realize how everything that “is” was simply meant to be. He helped me understand that strength was not as important as courage. And that it was ok to have weaknesses. And that being ok with your weaknesses in itself was courage."

The actor has been quarantining with his ex-wife Sussanne Khan and kids Hridhaan and Hrehaan. He was last seen in the film War co-starring Tiger Shroff and Vaani Kapoor.
