Marathi Actor Chinmay Mandlekar Steps Back from Shivaji Maharaj Role: Neha Defends Son’s Name ‘Jahangir’

Marathi actor Chinmay Mandlekar, known for his role as Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, decided to step back from the character after facing trolling about his son’s name, ‘Jahangir’. The trolling on social media has caused mental harassment to his family.

Neha wife of chinmay made an Instagram video where she explained that her son’s name, Jehangir, is a Persian name. He was born on March 21, 2013, which is also the day of Jamshedi Navroz, the Persian New Year. She and her husband liked the name because of its meaning, “the one who has conquered the world.” Neha mentioned that famous people like JRD Tata also had this name.

She talked about how even though Jehangir is a Muslim name, there shouldn’t be a problem with it. She said we live with Muslims peacefully and many successful people in films and cricket are Muslim too. She wondered why there was so much fuss about a name when we happily watch and support Muslim celebrities.
