Smriti Irani gives shoutout to Ranveer Singh starrer Dhurandhar with a witty note: "Don’t call yourself ‘peaceful’ unless..."

She tagged it with #Dhurandhar and added fiery emojis — a gesture that immediately read as a bold and unmistakable nod to Aditya Dhar’s intense and high-impact film.

As Aditya Dhar directorial Dhurandhar has been smashing the box office with its storming performance since its release on December 5, actor-politician Smriti Irani is the latest to praise the film but with a twist.

The Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi actress recently reshared a post on her Instagram story featuring the striking line, “Don’t call yourself ‘peaceful’ unless you’re capable of violence. If you aren’t capable of violence, you aren’t peaceful, you’re harmless.”

She tagged it with #Dhurandhar and added fiery emojis — a gesture that immediately read as a bold and unmistakable nod to Aditya Dhar’s intense and high-impact film.

The quote, layered with meaning, seems to resonate with the film’s raw energy, its focus on inner strength, and the way it explores suppressed power.

What makes this shout-out even more poignant is the kind of year 2025 has been for Smriti Irani herself. Her return to television with Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi 2, reprising the iconic role of Tulsi, has stirred waves of nostalgia nationwide while reaffirming her enduring authority on Indian television.

Beyond the entertainment world, Irani has also shown her influence on a global scale. At the prestigious TIME100 gathering in New York, she represented India and launched the ambitious initiative — SPARK: The 100k Collective — aimed at empowering one lakh women entrepreneurs across hundreds of cities.

Meanwhile, Dhurandhar, under Aditya Dhar’s vision, continues to pack theatres and generate strong word-of-mouth across the country. Within five days of its release, the film has already crossed the Rs 150 crore mark at the box office. The makers have also confirmed that the second part of the film is scheduled to release in 2026.
