Sanjay Dutt Remembers His Father, Sunil Dutt On His 91st Birthday, Shares A Throwback Picture

For a son, his father is the only man, whom he worships throughout his life. A father plays the role of an idol as his son always quotes him in his deeds. From helping him learn the bicycle to carrying him on his back, the role of a father in his son’s life cannot be described in mere words. While Bollywood flaunts many father-son jodis, the one that has always stood apart and had won many hearts is the relationship of Sanjay Dutt with his late father, Sunil Dutt.

There was a phase in Sanjay Dutt’s life when the entire world had turned their back against him and it was his father, Sunil Dutt, who always stood like a pillar of strength for him. Many people are not aware that there was a time when Sanjay didn’t share a warm rapport with his dad and it was at that time when the actor had fallen addicted to drugs. And it was only Sunil ji, who had taken his son, Sanju out of that addiction, and had helped him with the other demons of his life.

In an interview with the Bombay Times a few months back, Sanjay Dutt’s wife, Maanayata Dutt had spoken about Sanjay Dutt’s bond with his late father, Sunil Dutt. Maanayata had said, “I remember that my sister-in-law, Priya, once told me that their father (Sunil Dutt) would often say, ‘Sanju ne itna drugs kiya hai ki uska dimaag grow hona bandh ho gaya hai’. Sanju always says that his dad loved Priya more, but I feel that his father had that unspoken love for him. Priya would tell me how dad would defend him and say these lines. So, I still feel that he is young, and I am dealing with three kids at home. Shahraan, Iqra (their twins) and Sanju gang up together. At home, the kids are supposed to have pizza and burgers only over the weekend, but he breaks that rule and allows it on weekdays, too. You see what I mean!” (Also Read: Neha Kakkar's Parents Wanted To Abort Her But Couldn't, Tony Kakkar Tells Reason On Story Of Kakkars)
