Even
though
actor
Ali
Fazal
had
a
cameo
in
Rajkumar
Hirani's
3
Idiots,
his
character
left
a
strong
impact
on
moviegoers.
For
the
unversed,
he
played
the
character
of
Joy
Lobo
who
died
by
suicide
after
Dr
Viru
Sahastrabuddhe
(played
by
Boman
Irani)
told
him
that
he
will
not
graduate.
In
his
recent
tete-a-tete
with
Peeping
Moon,
Ali
Fazal
made
a
surprising
revelation
and
said
that
he
slipped
into
depression
when
he
started
with
3
Idiots.
"I
played
a
small
role
in
it.
Do
you
know
what
happened?
Suddenly
they
were
doing
some
news
pieces,
not
to
sound
morbid
or
anything
but
at
that
time,
some
college
students
had
harmed
themselves,
and
then
I
got
a
call
from
some
news
channel
saying,
'Sir,
you've
played
this
role
and
this
is
exactly
what
has
happened.
How
do
you
feel
about
it?'
and
I
was
crushed
at
that
point," said
the
Fukrey
actor.
Ali
Fazal
went
on
to
add
that
he
was
naive
at
that
time,
because
he
was
in
his
second
year
of
college
and
had
just
started
with
3
Idiots.
"I
went
into
depression
and
I
told
Raju
sir
(Rajkumar
Hirani)
and
all
these
people
and
they
said,
'please
don't
do
this.
Tell
them
to
talk
to
the
producer
and
don't
feel
like
this'.
Obviously,
they
were
very
sweet
about
it
and
I
used
to
suddenly
start
associating
that
I
couldn't
explain
much
in
a
small
role," added
Fazal.
He
concluded
by
saying
that
post
the
release
of
3
Idiots,
he
wished
that
he
gets
a
big
role
so
that
he
can
take
the
audiences
through
the
whole
journey,
and
tell
them
that
he
didn't
mean
to
hurt
anybody.
