Farhan Akhtar recently opened up about how the script of Luck By Chance — written in the early 2000s by Zoya Akhtar — lay dormant for seven years. Even though the story was ready, they couldn’t find a willing lead actor. Multiple stars rejected it. Finally, after years of struggle and uncertainty, Farhan decided to don the lead role himself — turning a stalled dream into a film that went on to resonate deeply with those who understand the harsh realities of making it in Bollywood.

Here’s how a painfully still first date turned into one of Bollywood’s most talked-about love stories."
