As a kid, I used to laugh at Suhas from 3 Idiots and thought Rancho was completely right. But growing up changed the way I see that movie.
Back then, Rancho mocking Suhas for doing an MBA after engineering felt cool and logical. But now I understand that not everyone has the privilege to blindly follow passion. Some people choose money, stability, and a secure future because responsibilities, family pressure, and fear of financial insecurity are real. Wanting a successful career doesn't make someone a bad person.
And honestly, that scene where Suhas gets angry after Kareena loses the ₹4 lakh watch he gifted her makes sense to me now. As a child, I laughed at his reaction. But after growing up and understanding how hard it is to earn money, I realize it wasn't just about the watch. It was about the effort, time, and hard work attached to it. Losing something expensive that you earned yourself genuinely hurts.
As kids, we admired Rancho because he represented freedom. But as adults, many of us slowly understand Suhas more. Real life is not always about following your passion. Sometimes it's about making practical choices so your family can sleep peacefully and your future stays secure.
Suhas was never a bad person. He just understood the value of things because he earned them himself.
