Sanjay Dutt can't impress his kids Shahraan and Iqra! Guess who their favourite actor is
Sanjay Dutt with wife and kids After over four decades in the film industry, Sanjay Dutt is now exploring new horizons in South Indian cinema. This year, he's set to appear in the Telugu film The RajaSaab and the Kannada film KD – The Devil. Though a recent entrant to the Southern film space, he's excited about the diverse roles coming his way. 'We should just go back to our roots' Known for iconic roles in films like Vaastav: The Reality (1999), Munna Bhai MBBS (2003) and Agneepath (2012) among others, Dutt believes that Bollywood needs to revisit the kind of cinema it once celebrated. He says, 'I wish these kinds of films are back as this is exactly what we are lacking today. We should just go back to our roots.' 'I encourage my kids to complete their education' So, does his passion for movies extend to his teenagers Shahraan and Iqra? Do they see themselves following in his footsteps? 'They do watch movies, but I am not their favourite actor and that's okay (laughs). They like Tiger Shroff and the younger lot, which is good. I encourage them to complete their education and go to university. After that, they can take a call about what they want to pursue,' Dutt replies. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo 'I love shooting down south' T alking about south films, the actor says, 'It's a great place to be in. Their sensibility of cinema is what we have had all our lives – to cater to the masses, to enhance the hero on screen and to do all that which I think Bollywood has forgotten to do now. I hope it comes back. I must say that south filmmakers make their films with a lot of passion and sadly, that passion is missing from our industry now. I love shooting there.' 'There's so much love in my nickname Baba' Affectionately referred to as 'Baba' by fans and the industry, Dutt – who splits his time between Mumbai and Dubai – likes it when he is addressed by this nickname. Recollecting how he got it, he shares, 'My father (Sunil Dutt) used to take me on sets with him sometimes, when I was a kid. People used to see me and say, 'Baba aa gaya, baba aa gaya'. And that is how it started. There's so much love in that name.'

'Mangoes cost Rs 50 in Kannada and Rs 500 in Hindi': Bengaluru woman's hilarious reel on Bangalorean stereotypes go viral. Who is Deesha Umesh?
Bengaluru, often celebrated as India's tech capital, has recently found itself at the heart of an ongoing cultural and linguistic conflict. A trending video shared on the popular Bengaluru subreddit has brought fresh attention to the tensions between native Kannada speakers and migrants from other parts of India, especially Hindi-speaking regions. The satirical video showcases exaggerated stereotypes through humor, yet it reflects a deeper social discomfort that many residents have long been navigating. In the video, which is titled 'What North Indians Think Bangaloreans Do Every Day' a young woman plays out a fictional and heavily dramatized version of daily life in the city. She begins her day in a foul temper, determined to ruin the mood of a Hindi speaker. In one segment, she masquerades as a fruit vendor, offering mangoes at a reasonable Rs 50. But when a Hindi-speaking customer shows interest, she instantly shifts her tone and says the cost is Rs 500, purely out of spite. The clip continues to explore similar exaggerated scenes. The woman initially offers to help a stranger searching for a restroom, but as soon as the stranger requests help in Hindi, her demeanor shifts to cold indifference. She responds sharply in Kannada and refuses to assist further. In another moment, she angrily grumbles when asked for the office WiFi password, showing clear frustration when addressed in Hindi. Yet, the tone of the video takes a twist when a woman bumps into her and apologizes—this time in Kannada. The protagonist's attitude melts instantly, and she warmly embraces the woman, acknowledging her apology with affection. The video quickly garnered attention on Reddit, racking up over 380,000 likes. Viewers couldn't stop raving about the woman's brilliant sense of humor and perfect delivery. As her identity came to light, many were surprised to discover that the creator of the viral clip is Deesha Umesh , a Gujarati-born influencer raised entirely in Bengaluru. Interestingly, Deesha is also a trained doctor who has since transitioned into a full-time content creator. Her Instagram account, where she frequently uploads comedy videos, boasts a strong following of more than 230,000 people. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Deesha Umesh (@ Comments poured in not just with praise but also with personal stories and reflections on the language politics in the city. One user commended her flawless Kannada diction and expressed disappointment that many Hindi-speaking people born in Bengaluru still avoid learning the local language. Another user, who identified as a lifelong Kannadiga, pointed out that they and their friends had never harassed anyone over language—challenging the narrative that such discrimination is common. However, a few people shared contrasting experiences. One recounted being intimidated by an auto-rickshaw driver simply for speaking on the phone in Hindi. Another said a cab driver instructed his group to speak only in Kannada or remain silent. There was also mention of a chemist who allegedly refused service until the customer switched to Kannada. Yet these commenters were careful to clarify that such incidents were the actions of uneducated individuals and not reflective of the city's more progressive population. Educated residents, they said, usually have no interest in petty language disputes and are far more inclusive. Ultimately, the video—while humorous—has become a mirror reflecting a complex issue. Deesha Umesh's comedy has sparked an important conversation about language, identity, and coexistence in a city that is as diverse as it is dynamic.
