Actress Preity Zinta shared that she plays the title track of Koi Mil Gaya to lull her children, Gia Zinta Goodenough and Jai Zinta Goodenough, to sleep. During an interview with the news agency ANI, Preity also reminisced about the first day of shooting when she felt annoyed by her co-star Hrithik Roshan.

Recalling the first day of shooting, she mentioned that her initial irritation stemmed from Hrithik’s late arrival on sets. “I remember the first day of shoot, I was irritated that Hrithik was late and suddenly someone tapped on my shoulder, I turned to see and it was Hrithik in Rohit’s look. He was completely unrecognisable and I was surprised to see him. It only then struck me that Hrithik was on set all along, it was just that I did not recognise him,” she said.
