Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt has offered to take US President Donald Trump under his wing, drawing on the philosophy of his famous film character Munna Bhai. Appearing on filmmaker Shekhar Suman's television programme, Dutt made light-hearted comments about confronting the American leader with unconventional diplomatic methods.
The actor suggested that if he were to become Prime Minister, he would visit Trump and introduce him to the concept of "Gandhigiri"—a term popularised by his 2006 film Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., which refers to using Gandhian principles of non-violence and persuasion to solve problems.
Dutt's remarks drew from his iconic on-screen persona, known for combining street-smart humour with philosophical wisdom. The comment was made in a lighter vein on the entertainment show, reflecting the actor's characteristic wit.
The exchange highlighted Dutt's continued connection to one of his most celebrated film roles, a character that has remained popular in Indian pop culture for over a decade. His comments resonated with viewers familiar with the Munna Bhai franchise, which has been celebrated for blending comedy with social messaging.
