Anand Banerjee, who had been brain-dead for 12 long years, reveals what had transpired after he was “cured” by Munna Bhai’s empathetic ways, which got him out of his vegetative state. He shares that, despite Munna’s best efforts, he never became a doctor. However, his infectious “jaadu ki jhappis” and unconventional treatment methods on patients during his time as a college student in the top medical college, moved not only the staff of the college but Munna’s father as well, who had abandoned him after learning he was a local goon involved in an extortion racket. He reveals that Munna went on to marry “Chinki”, his childhood friend and college dean Asthana’s daughter, whom he met at college. The duo then opens a legitimate hospital in Munna’s village. Rustom, who assisted him in securing a seat at the medical college, is now the dean, replacing Asthana. In his closing scene, Anand talks about Sarkeshwar aka Circuit’s happy ending as he eventually went on to marry, and the couple’s son was fondly named “short circuit”. A Cult Classic Released in 2003, Rajkumar Hirani’s directorial debut Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. turned out to be a super-hit, especially for its theme that challenged the medical system with humour and iconic gags. Not only did the movie become a cult classic, but it also breathed new life into Sanjay Dutt’s acting career. It also helped catapult Boman Irani into mainstream fame, who had earlier been noticed for his acting chops in a menacingly subdued display as the hotel owner who was against smoking in Ram Gopal Varma’s Darna Mana Hai. The comedy-romance film continues to inspire countless memes and remains a strong presence in 2025 pop culture. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that someone on the Internet just figured out who Arshad Warsi’s character Circuit actually ended up marrying in Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.. Is That Her? A user on X recently shared a post that answered that very question. Circuit, as it turned out, married the nurse at the medical college. The nurse appeared in reaction shots whenever Munna’s unorthodox methods succeeded with patients, as the audience saw. How Old were you when you realised Circuit married the Nurse from the Medical College 🫣 pic.twitter.com/6oncB7Fs0C — Ritikaa (@ritikuuuu) October 27, 2025 The post went viral, clocking 800K views on the Elon Musk-owned social media platform. Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. Trivia There is plenty of Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. trivia around the movie, the most fascinating involving Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan. “Right next morning, he read it or must have skimmed through it, so he called me, and he said, ‘Next week, come and meet me.’ So, I said if he’s calling me, that means he’s interested, and over a period of time, I realised he was very keen,” Hirani told Anupama Chopra in a Film Companion interview. The director shared that Anil Kapoor and Vivek Oberoi were his other choices before the script landed on Khan’s lap. Khan, who loved the script, eventually backed out of the project owing to a shoulder injury he had sustained. Hirani, acknowledging Khan’s inputs in the script, mentioned the Devdas star in the end credits of Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.. The actor also turned down 3 Idiots, yet another blockbuster dished out by Hirani.

But there was a timing issue, one of my films got delayed, I had a setback with another injury… I told him to finish it off. It was a very ambitious project, 3 Idiots, so I said, ‘You can’t have an actor coming from one film and going to another, so you please go ahead and do this’. So, that one didn’t happen,” Khan said in an interview with MBC Group. Hirani and Khan finally collaborated 20 years later for 2023’s Dunki.
