Suniel Shetty Loses Cool Over ‘Cheap Mimicry’

Actor Suniel Shetty found himself at the center of controversy after a video from a recent public event went viral. The clip shows the veteran actor scolding a young performer who was mimicking him on stage. Clearly upset, Shetty interrupted the act and addressed the artiste directly. “He’s saying random dialogues that don’t even sound like me. I’ve never seen such cheap mimicry,” Shetty said. “When Suniel Shetty speaks, he speaks like a man… not like a child.”

“Do It Right or Don’t Do It at All,” Says Shetty

The actor didn’t stop there. He continued, “Beta, when you mimic someone, do it well. Don’t do such poor imitation.” The artiste, visibly embarrassed, responded by saying, “Sorry sir, I wasn’t trying to mimic you at all.” But Shetty wasn’t convinced. “Don’t even try, son. You’ve got a long way to go before you become Suniel Shetty,” he added. “Just tying your hair back doesn’t make you me. Looks like you haven’t even watched my action films.”

Internet Reacts: Divided Opinions

The video has since spread rapidly across social media platforms. While some fans supported Shetty’s reaction, saying he defended his dignity, others felt he could have handled the situation more gracefully. “I get that he was upset, but it didn’t need to be that harsh,” one user commented. Another added, “Respect to Suniel Shetty for calling out substandard mimicry. Not every joke is funny.”
