New Delhi: Veteran Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty, known for his powerful on-screen presence and action roles in the ’90s and 2000s, is now at the center of an online controversy after a video from a public event in Bhopal went viral.

The incident occurred at a gathering in the Karond area of Bhopal, where Shetty was attending as a guest.

“Tab se yeh bhaisahab alag alag dialogues bol rahe hain jo meri awaaz mein hain hi nahi. Itna ghatiya mimicry maine kabhi dekha hi nahi hai,” Shetty said sharply. “Jab Suniel Shetty bolta hai toh ek mard ki tarah bolta hai… Yeh bachche ki tarah bol raha tha. Beta jab mimicry karte ho toh achi karni chahiye… Kharab nakal nahi karni chahiye.”
Mimicry Artist Apologises On Stage
Following the criticism, the artist immediately apologised, saying, “Sorry sir, main bilkul aapki mimicry karne ki koshish nahi kar raha tha.” However, Shetty continued, “Koshish karna bhi mat beta. Abhi bahut time hai Suniel Shetty banne mein. Peeche bal bandha ne kuch nahi hota… Abhi bacha hai, lagta hai Suniel Shetty ki action films dekhi nahi hai isne.”
