Kareena Kapoor Khan may have played the role of Pia in 3 Idiots effortlessly but she was not the only actress who wanted to be a part of the film. Anushka Sharma had also auditioned for the film back in 2007 before making her big Bollywood debut with Yash Raj Film's Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.  An old video of Anushka has gone viral on social media and in the clip, the actress can be seen saying Gracy Singh's monologue from Munnabhai MBBS that starred Sanjay Dutt in the lead role and was also helmed by Rajkumar Hirani. The viral video features a young version of Anushka.

Ahead of the release of PK, Anushka had revealed in a video that she auditioned for 3 Idiots. "I had auditioned for a lead role in a film in 2007. And, that film was 3 Idiots. No one knows it, no one watched the audition. You have not watched it, Raju sir has not watched it."

The video then cuts to the filmmaker as he says, "Anushka auditioned for 3 Idiots? No, no, no. Anushka never auditioned for 3 Idiots." Anushka then shows the audition clip. She delivers a dialogue from Munnabhai MBBS. Kareena Kapoor Khan eventually bagged the role. Anushka then informs that she showed the audition clip to Aamir and Rajkumar on sets of PK and their reactions were quite funny. We then see Aamir and Rajkumar laughing as they watch the clip on a laptop and Anushka is also seen laughing alongside.

3 Idiots released in December 2009 and went on to become a massive hit.
