Shekhar Suman defended Sanjay Dutt after backlash over Dutt's comments on Shekhar Tonite aired around Gandhi Jayanti. Suman said Dutt's remarks were scripted, light-hearted, and not intended to offend, praising the actor's patriotism and character. He urged that the satirical show's context be considered and warned against penalising Dutt for unintended interpretations.
