Sanjay Dutt opens up about the changing atmosphere in India
Sanjay Dutt recently opened up about the changing atmosphere in India and said he no longer feels the same sense of peace in the country. He made the comments during his appearance on Shekhar Suman’s show Shekhar Tonite, where he also jokingly imagined himself as the Prime Minister.
The episode saw Sanjay discuss the country and its people while bringing his trademark humour to the conversation. At one point, he spoke about how much he values the hospitality and warmth of Indians, but admitted that he feels something has changed.
“The people of this country are so lovely. There should be peace here. I can’t feel that peace in our country anymore. We Indians are large-hearted people, and we are hospitable. We have given so much, and we should always remain that way. I pray to Shivji that those days come back soon,” he stated.
Sanjay jokes about being PM
During another segment of the show, Sanjay was asked to imagine that he had become the Prime Minister of India for five minutes and address the people of the country. Taking inspiration from his popular Munna Bhai character, the actor said, “Bole toh itna bada desh hai, itne saare log hain aur ab hum sabki zimmedari apun ke upar. Par aap log ekdum tension nahin lene ka. Apun is khushi ko celebrate karne videsh nahi jaane wala hai. Apun idharich rahega, aap sab logon ke beech. Nahin to PM aur janta mein connection kaise banega.”
Sanjay has also been spending considerable time in Dubai. The actor holds a 10-year UAE Golden Visa, while his wife Maanayata Dutt, are based there. He travels between Mumbai and Dubai for professional commitments.
