‘Apun idharich rahega’: Sanjay Dutt’s PM act takes swipe at Modi's foreign trips, says ‘can’t feel peace’ in India

Dutt slipped into his Munna Bhai persona and said India needs a fourth monkey to challenge wrongdoing and keep public life accountable.

  • On the Gandhi Jayanti special episode of Shekhar Suman's show, actor Sanjay Dutt roleplayed as Prime Minister of India for five minutes, immediately adopting his Munna Bhai character's distinctive voice and mannerisms.
  • Dutt proposed adding a fourth monkey to Gandhi's traditional three, arguing the country needed accountability for wrongdoing. He suggested replacing photographs of political leaders in public spaces with images of Gandhi instead.
  • Taking a jibe at President Donald Trump, Dutt called him 'Trump Mamu' and urged him to replace missiles with 'Gandhigiri,' suggesting leaders resolve conflicts over tea and bouquets instead of threats.
  • Joking about foreign trips in an apparent reference to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Dutt stated he would not celebrate his role by traveling abroad, preferring to remain among the people of India.
  • Addressing the nation more seriously, Dutt revealed he no longer feels the same sense of peace in India, ending the segment with a prayer to Shivji that 'those days come back soon.
