Sanjay Dutt Says He ‘Can’t Feel Peace in India Anymore’; Takes Potshots at PM Modi

  • Actor Sanjay Dutt faced backlash after remarks on YouTube show Shekhar Tonite and clarified on X on Sunday that his comments were part of a "scripted conversation" intended to "engage in lighthearted and humorous dialogue."
  • During a Gandhi Jayanti special episode, Dutt was asked to imagine himself as Prime Minister of India for five minutes, prompting him to slip into his iconic Munna Bhai character for a monologue.
  • The actor critiqued public displays of political photos and addressed President Donald Trump as "Trump Mamu," suggesting he replace missiles with bouquets and resolve conflicts over tea instead.
  • Dutt emphasized his intention was to convey "a message of love, unity, and goodwill" and explained his tone mirrored the satire used in the Lage Raho Munna Bhai franchise.
  • Beyond the satire, Dutt confessed he "doesn't feel peace in India anymore" and cited the need for a "fourth monkey" to address societal issues, concluding with a prayer to Shivji.
