Ali Fazal reveals he slipped into depression when he did 3 Idiots

Ali Fazal, who began his acting career with the super hit film 3 Idiots, in an interview with PeepingMoon said that he went into depression when he was shooting for the film. "I slipped into depression when I started with 3 Idiots. I played a small role in it," he told PeepingMoon. In the film, Ali Fazal played the role of an engineering student called Joy Lobo, who dies by suicide after the college dean refuses to extend the project's deadline for submission. Ali Fazal was in the second year of college back then. He told PeepingMoon, 

"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. I was naive. I was in my second year of college. "The film, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, is based on Chetan Bhagat's novel Five Point Someone. It featured Aamir Khan, Madhavan, Sharman Joshi as the titular characters and also starred Boman Irani and Kareena Kapoor.On the work front, after ‘3 Idiots’, Ali Fazal worked in movies such as ‘Happy Bhag Jayegi’, ‘Bobby Jasoos’, ‘Fukrey’, and more. The actor was also lauded for his fantastic performance in the web series ‘Mirzapur’. Up next, Ali’s Netflix web series ‘Ray’ is set to release on June 25, 2021.
