What if conquering sudden sadness took less time than brewing coffee? Hrithik Roshan says yes, introducing the world to his 90-second rule in a motivational video that’s exploding online.
At its heart, the rule acknowledges sadness as a fleeting visitor—a cocktail of hormones racing through your veins for precisely 90 seconds. Hrithik advises welcoming it, timing it, and waving goodbye before it overstays.
From his battles with back pain to navigating stardom’s pressures, Hrithik has mastered this. ‘Emotions are data, not destiny,’ he philosophizes, urging followers to label the feeling (‘This is sadness’) to diminish its power.
Implementation is key: find a quiet spot, breathe in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4. Watch the timer. At 91 seconds, move—dance to a Hrithik song, perhaps ‘Senorita.’ This habitual reset builds resilience.
Science supports it via somatic experiencing therapy, where bodily sensations of emotion dissipate quickly sans mental fuel. Hrithik integrates it into his Vashmalle brand of holistic fitness.
As Gen Z embraces therapy-speak, Hrithik bridges Bollywood glamour with brain facts. His rule democratizes mental tools, proving you don’t need a guru—just 90 seconds of courage. Sadness interrupted; joy restored.
