Mahatma Gandhi’s extraordinary life, non-violent approach, and teachings have served as great life lessons for all of us. Fondly known as ‘Bapu’, Mahatma Gandhi continues to serve as an inspiration for every generation. On the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti, several Bollywood actors including Sanjay Dutt, Anil Kapoor and others took to their social media handles to extend greetings on the occasion.
Taking to Instagram, the KGF Chapter 2 actor shared a video clip from his film ‘Lage Raho Munna Bhai’ in which he could be seen indulging in a rough fight with a security guard.

Following the ideology of Mahatma Gandhi, in the video clip, Sanjay Dutt offered his right cheek to the guard (mentioned as ‘LIFE’) after he slaps his left cheek, and after the guard slaps him on the right cheek as well the actor punched him hard and said, “Dono Gaal par pad jaaye to kya karne ka hai..ye baapu ne nahi Kaha tha.”
