After facing the spotlight for his remark that he doesn’t feel peace in India anymore, Sanjay Dutt has now given a clarification that he didn’t mean to hurt anyone and that his words were part of a scripted conversation.
What did Sanjay Dutt say?
During the episode with Shekhar Suman, Sanjay Dutt made a remark that caught everyone by surprise. The actor said that he doesn’t feel peace in India anymore, implying the shortcomings of the current government, which has been in power since 2014.
“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,” said Sanjay Dutt
Sanjay Dutt Apologizes
In his recent tweet, Sanjay Dutt has now given clarification about his comment where he said that he doesn’t feel peace in the country anymore.
The actor opined that it was part of a scripted conversation that was intended to be light-hearted and humorous.
I would like to clarify that it was never my intention to hurt, offend, or disrespect the sentiments of any individual, community, or institution. My remarks were made in the context of a scripted conversation intended to be light-hearted and humorous. The spirit behind them was similar to the humour and satire seen in films like Munna Bhai, particularly the concept of ‘Gandhigiri,’ which was intended to convey a message of love, warmth, togetherness, and goodwill. Unfortunately, my words were interpreted outside of that intended context.

During the podcast, it appeared that Sanjay dutt statement came from genuine observation rather than from a scripted conversation.
Allegation on Shekhar Suman For Scripted Conversation?
Dutt’s clarification statement that his earlier opinion was a part of a scripted conversation appears to be a direct allegation against Shekhar Suman and his team that the answers to the particular question were pre-planned.
Even social media users have highlighted it.
So, is Shekhar Suman telling his guests what answers to give on the show? 🤦♀️” wrote another user.
“I liked that sanju baba more. This one feels scripted and out of context.” another user said indicating that he doesn’t agree with the clarification statement given by Sanjay Dutt
It was a scripted conversation-meaning you were essentially acting. Was this scripted conversation a paid gig? You’ve created a goldmine for the Congress IT cell; you didn’t act this well even in your film Aakhri Sawal (The Final Question). You were the producer of that film, yet you managed to completely ruin it.
