Bollywood veteran Sanjay Dutt, often known for his “Baba” persona and generally friendly demeanor with the media, was seen in a different light this week. While the actor is currently celebrating the massive box office success of his latest film, Dhurandhar: The Revenge, a recent dinner outing with his family turned tense when he snapped at photographers.
A Private Moment Interrupted
The incident occurred on March 27, 2026, when Dutt stepped out for a quiet dinner in Mumbai with his wife, Maanayata Dutt, and their twins, Shahraan and Iqra. What was meant to be a relaxed family evening quickly escalated as a large group of paparazzi surrounded the family upon their arrival.
Visibly irritated by the constant camera flashes and photographers crowding his personal space, Dutt didn’t hold back. As he led his family toward the restaurant entrance, he was heard saying:
“Bas karna bey!”
The actor’s frustration was evident, though he continued to hold Maanayata’s hand as they entered the venue, hoping for a break from the spotlight.
The Tension Continues Post-Dinner
The situation did not improve after the meal. As the family exited the restaurant, the paparazzi were still stationed outside, immediately resuming their recording. This time, Dutt stopped in his tracks to address the crowd more firmly.
“Arey bhai, 2 minute band kar do, ho gaya abhi,” he told the photographers, requesting a moment of privacy to get his family into their vehicle safely.
Success Amidst Controversy
Despite the off-screen friction, Sanjay Dutt’s professional life is at an all-time high. Dhurandhar: The Revenge, directed by Aditya Dhar and co-starring Ranveer Singh, has reportedly crossed the ₹1,100 crore mark worldwide.
However, it hasn’t been all smooth sailing. The actor has also faced recent social media backlash regarding a song in his upcoming project KD – The Devil, featuring Nora Fatehi, which some critics have labeled as “vulgar.”
The “Baba” Style: A Complicated Relationship
Sanjay Dutt’s relationship with the paparazzi has always been a roller coaster. While he is famous for his “Jadoo Ki Jhappi” and has even been called a “messiah” by some photographers for his past acts of kindness—such as paying for damages when a photographer accidentally hit his vanity van—he is equally known for his unfiltered outbursts when he feels his boundaries are crossed.
This latest incident has once again sparked a debate on social media regarding the thin line between celebrity stardom and the right to a private family life. To know such
