Aamir Khan’s film 3 Idiots was a roaring hit when it released in 2009 and became a cult classic as well. However, the character of Suhas Tandon, played by French actor Olivier Lafont got short-changed in the film. He played Kareena Kapoor’s fiancé who had a materialistic outlook.
Now, a Twitter user posted how he misunderstood the character and could now related to why he behaved like that.
