A controversy has erupted over a remark made by actor Sanjay Dutt regarding the Marathi language. According to reports, after the statement triggered backlash, Dutt called Maharashtra minister Pratap Sarnaik to clarify the matter. He reportedly told the minister that his comment had been misunderstood and that he had only meant it as a joke, with no intention of hurting anyone's sentiments. The source link associated with this report references a 'Dahi Handi' event, suggesting the remark may have been made during such an occasion, though this is not explicitly confirmed in the original report. Further reactions and details on the matter have not yet emerged.
