He wasn't extraordinary in Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai tbh but for a debutant to draw a distinct line between Rohit and Raj, I think he deserved credit, plus amongst all the other nominees, I feel he was the best. Paresh Rawal wasn't nominated and Hrithik was nominated for Fiza also that year if my memory serves me right.
Koi Mil Gaya he fully deserves it imo. He was fabulous as Rohit ❤
Dhoom 2 also he did I feel. We tend to underrate action movie stars just because we assume all they do is stunts but he put in a lot of effort for Aryan who isn't a character similar to how he was in real life. Personally I think the charisma and charm that he brought to that character overpowered the rest. But again, I might be a little biased for this one. Wouldn't have really minded if Aamir won for RBD I guess.
For Jodhaa Akbar also I feel he fully deserved it, that was literally one of the best performances of his career, he looked and had the command of a king, although Aamir in Ghajini would be a close second, if not equal to Hrithik.
He deserved the award for Guzaarish as well imo.
