Suniel Shetty says ‘itni ghatiya mimicry nahi dekhi maine’ after Bhopal art tries to ape him: ‘You sound like a child, I sound like a mard’ | Bollywood News
Suniel Shetty’s signature dialogue delivery style lives rent-free in the heads of all ’90s kids. While he’s not acting in films as much as he was then, several mimicry arts continue to perpetuate that style aping it in their shows even today. But Suniel was left unimpressed a mimicry art at a Bhopal event, and he even claimed he hasn’t watched mimicry worse than that.
In a video that’s gone viral on Reddit, Suniel is seen telling a mimicry art on the stage, “Ye bhaisahab tab se alag alag dialogue bol rahe hain jo meri aawaz mein hain hi nahi. Itna ghatiya mimicry maine kabhi dekha hi nahi hai. Jab Suniel Shetty bolta hai tab ek mard ki tarah bolta hai. Ye ek bachche ki tarah bol raha tha” (This gentlemen has been saying several dialogues which aren’t even in my voice. I’ve not seen worse mimicry than this. When Suniel Shetty speaks, he speaks like a man. This one is speaking like a child).
“Jab aap mimicry karte ho toh achhi karni chahiye. Kharab nakal nahi karni chahiye kisi ki. (When you mimic, you should mimic well. You should not do bad mimicry of anyone),” he added. The mimicry art then apologized and claimed he wasn’t trying to mimic Suniel, to which the actor responded, “Koshish karna bhi mat, beta. Abhi Suniel Shetty banne mein bahut time hai. Baal baandhne se kuchh nahi hota” (Don’t even try mimicking me, son. You have a long way to go before you can become Suniel Shetty. Just tying up your hair doesn’t make you one).

Suniel then again called the mimicry art a “bachcha,” before adding, “Suniel Shetty ki action filmein dekhi nahi hai isne. Kabhi bole toh aazma bhi sakta hu” (It looks like he hasn’t watched Suniel Shetty’s action films. If you want, I can demonstrate that too). The crowd at the event roared in response, as the mimicry art continued to feel embarrassed at Suniel’s feedback.
Suniel Shetty, who started his acting career with Deepak Anand’s 1992 action film Balwaan, has since appeared in memorable movies like Dilwale, Mohra, Gopi Kishan (1994), Border (1997), Hu Tu Tu (1999), Hera Pheri, Refugee, Dhadkan (2000), Awara Paagal Deewana (2002), Main Hoon Na (2004), Dus (2005), and Darbar (2020). He most recently appeared in the film Kesari Veer and in the Amazon MXPlayer show Hunter season 2. He’ll be next seen in the comedies Welcome to the Jungle and Hera Pheri 3.

Shetty recently came under fire online for suggesting that C-Section is an easier option than natural childbirth. “In a world where everybody wants the comfort of having a caesarean ba, she (Athiya Shetty, daughter) chose not to do that and had a natural delivery. I remember how every nurse and paediatrician in the hospital said that it’s unbelievable how she went through the whole process,” Shetty had said.
