Why not Dutt for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 65-year-old actor, as a 2025 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Dutt so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the actor have already been named ‘Indian Of The Year’ by some major Indian newspapers and even ‘Mumbai Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Mumbai (Sanjay Dutt's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the actor was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Sanjay Dutt Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 28 Mar 2025
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveSanjay”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 28 Mar 2025
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Sanjay Dutt?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 28 Mar 2025
Could 2025 officially be the Year of Sanjay Dutt?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2025 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2025?
