Bollywood icon Hrithik Roshan is not just dazzling on screen; he’s now lighting the way for emotional health. In a viral social media post, he decoded the ’90-second rule’ to tackle unexpected sadness, captivating millions with its simplicity and science.
Sudden sadness often feels overwhelming, but Hrithik demystifies it as a mere 90-second neurochemical surge. ‘Your body produces the emotion, but your mind decides if it stays,’ he stated firmly. The rule: fully feel it for 90 seconds, then release.
Hrithik’s journey with this began amid career highs and personal lows, including injuries and family issues. He credits it for maintaining his signature positivity, often sharing glimpses on Instagram Lives.
Breaking it down, the first 90 seconds involve no distractions—no phone scrolling or self-pity. Just pure observation. Post that, engage in an activity: a walk, music, or calling a friend. This pivot prevents emotional snowballing.
Mental health professionals endorse the approach, linking it to mindfulness practices proven to lower cortisol levels. In India, where depression affects over 50 million, Hrithik’s relatable tip could spark a wellness revolution.
Fans are already reporting success, with testimonials flooding his comments. As Hrithik preps for his next blockbuster, his real superpower shines: turning personal wisdom into public good. Embrace the 90-second rule—it’s shorter than your favorite song chorus.
