Hirani has been a star director , who has produced a lot of popular films in the last 2 decades
In a recent event in Kolkata, Hirani opened up about his earlier life when he was still deciding his career
He said he wanted to be an engineer but upon his Uncle's advice started Chartered Accountancy which was not his calling
Eventually he gathered the nerve and confessed to his father that he did not want to pursue CA as his life and passion
To his surprise, his father accepted this, asked him to join his work and Hirani felt relieved and cheerful
Hirani tried to portray this real life incident in the famous 3 Idiots' scene where Farhan confesses to his father about his wildlife photographer dream
This scene applauded by the multitude and has been a point of discussion for many and draws emotions every time.
