The 'Life Changing Lesson' Hrithik Roshan Taught Kaabil Co-Star Yami Gautam

Actress Yami Gautam, who starred opposite Hrithik Roshan in 2017 film Kaabil, told news agency PTI that she learnt 'being selfless' from the actor. Yami, who debuted in the Hindi film industry six years ago with Vicky Donor, also added that she 'learnt about cinema while filming Kaabil. "I learnt a lot about cinema on the sets of Kaabil. I learnt the value of being selfless. Working selflessly and appreciating that in others. A lot of times it's natural for us to think 'How am I looking, how am I performing?' restricting everything to myself. But working with Hrithik made me understand and appreciate the value of being selfless. It isn't easy but very simple. That's why he is where he is. That has been quite life changing lesson in a lot of ways," Yami told PTI.

In Kaabil, Hrithik and Yami played a visually-challenged couple. The film was directed by Sanjay Gupta and produced by Hrithik's dad Rakesh Roshan.
