Commenting on the impact of the ragging scene in the movie "3 Idiots", Mr Chavan said that films have always depicted social evils and created awareness about them in the society but if any government department finds the scene disturbing, they can ask the censor board to remove it.<br/><br/>Also talking about the sudden surge in student suicides in Mumbai, Mr Chavan said that it was a serious concern and requested parents to pay more attention towards the expectations of their children.
