Rajkumar Hirani's 2009 film 3 Idiots was a cinematic masterpiece that struck a deep chord with viewers and left an indelible impression on their minds. The film is praised for its comedic and sad parts, as well as its memorable characters, especially Dr. Viru "Virus" Sahastrabuddhe, played by the versatile Boman Irani. This persona, imprinted in the hearts of viewers, occupies a special place in Irani's own heart, as he discovered during a recent visit to IIM Bangalore.

During his visit to the campus where much of 3 Idiots was shot, Boman Irani grew sentimental, thinking about memories from nearly 15 years prior. Boman took to Instagram and shared pictures from the IIM Bangalore visit. The caption read, "15 years ago, I stood on this very stage at IIM Bangalore, bringing ‘Virus’ to life in #3Idiots. Today, I return, overwhelmed by the love and support that continues to pour in. It was truly special to connect with the students and relive those cherished memories. Grateful for the journey, for Rajkumar Hirani’s brilliant direction, and for the incredible team that made it all possible. Honored to be back where it all began."
