Priya Dutt says Sanjay Dutt's biopic 'Sanju' did not do justice to him: 'I loved Ranbir Kapoor in it, but...'
Indian politician and social worker
Priya Dutt
recently shared the struggles she faced during the time her mother, the late actress
Nargis Dutt
, battled cancer, and how her brother, actor
Sanjay Dutt
, became addicted to drugs and substances.
While recalling those haunting days, Priya called Sanjay's biopic '
Sanju
' by
Rajkumar Hirani
'unfair', as she felt it did not do complete justice to his real-life tragedies.
In an interview with Vickey Lalwani on his YouTube channel, Priya opened up about the biopic. When asked why the film did not focus much on Sanjay's mother Nargis or his family, and instead concentrated mainly on one friend, Priya said: 'I also felt that the movie didn't do justice to, I think, even my mum in the film, or my father. There is a lot that could have been explored. There was a lot. Even the relationship between the father and son, the way it was—I think a lot more could have been shown. I agree with you on that.'

When asked whether she ever wanted to convey this to Rajkumar Hirani or felt like calling him, she nodded in agreement. 'But I think they had a different concept in mind. Their focus was just Sanju, of course, which I understand—and his life. It became a bit of a caricature. Maybe they had to amalgamate too many characters,' she pointed out.
Priya also mentioned that she called
Sanjay
after watching the film and said it did not live up to expectations. 'I don't know. It's not what I expected it to be. I think it was more entertainment,' she said, adding that he responded rather coldly with a simple, 'Let it be.'
She also expressed that the film did not portray every phase of Sanjay's life. 'I loved
Ranbir Kapoor
in it. He played Sanju very well. But yeah, I feel it wasn't really a biopic. It was a film, very entertaining, and included only certain aspects of his life. The intensity was missing,' she further added.
Priya also shared her favourite films from her brother Sanjay Dutt's career. She picked Vaastav and Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. as her top choices.

Shalmali Kholgade is back with her new English song, 'all good?'
After impressing the crowd at Zomaland with her energetic live performance, popular Indian singer Shalmali Kholgade is back with a brand-new English single called 'all good?'. The song is now available on all major music platforms. It's fun and catchy but also carries a deep message. Recently, Shalmali's live shows have gone viral online, thanks to her fresh versions of hit songs and her strong stage presence. With 'all good?', she adds another exciting song to her list that shows her growth as an artist. At first, the song feels like a fun, feel-good pop track. But when you listen closely, it talks about how people today are always chasing after more – more things, more likes, more success – and how that can make us forget what really matters in life. The song has upbeat music, a catchy hook, and a message that makes you think. Speaking about the song, Shalmali says, 'We keep running after material things and forget about real meaning. I wanted this song to start a conversation while still making people enjoy the music and feel something.' 'all good?' is Shalmali's return to English music after successful independent releases like 'Chills', 'Here is Beautiful', and her well-received bilingual album '2X Side B'. Though many fans know her from Bollywood hits like Pareshaan, Balam Pichkari, and Lat Lag Gayee, she has been exploring a more personal and unique sound in recent years. With her indie-pop music, Shalmali continues to bring something fresh and real to the audience.

Rapper-turned-sportscaster Mase sparks backlash by defending Stefon Diggs' pink powder party
Rapper Mase defended Stefon Diggs amidst his viral yacht video (Image via AP) Stefon Diggs may be making headlines for more than just his plays on the field. A now-viral video of the New England Patriots wide receiver enjoying a wild boat party—with bikini-clad women and an unidentified pink powder in hand—has sparked internet controversy. But not everyone is joining the outrage. Rapper-turned-sportscaster defends Diggs amid pink powder speculation and Cardi B dating rumors Rapper and sportscaster Mase, alongside co-hosts Cam'ron and Treasure 'Stat Baby' Wilson, addressed the footage on their show Come and Talk 2 Me, and made it clear: Diggs is simply living his best life. 'I thought that the video was — it was several things,' said Mase. 'He's a guy that lives to the fullest. I think he's gonna continue to live his life, as he should.' OKC TO THE FINALS, STEFON DIGGS BOAT VIDEO & STAT BABY TELLS STORIES FROM HER DATING LIFE! | S6 EP93 Cam'ron pushed for clarity on what that lifestyle really means, to which Mase explained, 'Lives to the fullest means Stefon Diggs is gonna do whatever he wants to do… He's living it to the fullest. He's a bachelor. He hasn't tied the knot… He's still enjoying himself.' Unidentified pink powder triggers speculation but no solid proof of drug use The clip stirred additional buzz due to a mysterious pink substance seen in Diggs' possession, which some speculated might be 'tusi,' also known as pink cocaine. But Mase brushed off those assumptions. 'I didn't see pink cocaine,' he said. 'I just saw a Kool-Aid pack… I didn't get to zoom in on it, so I can't say what it was… Did you see them sniff anything?' While co-host Wilson expressed doubts, saying, 'I don't know if that (pink cocaine) is what he had, but it looks like that,' she also confirmed no drug consumption was visible in the video. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo Coach Vrabel responds and Cardi B enters the spotlight Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel acknowledged the video at a May 28 press conference, stating, 'Obviously, we want to make great decisions on and off the field,' but avoided directly calling out Diggs. The star receiver was notably absent from the team's organized activity that day—a detail Cam'ron quickly dismissed: 'If it's not mandatory… why are we talking about this?' Adding fuel to the fire is Diggs' rumored romance with Cardi B, who was allegedly present at the party. With her ongoing divorce from Offset, the public is watching closely. Still, Wilson reminded viewers, 'If that girl wanna go live her best life… let her go do that.'
