Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt is arguably one of the most controversial personalities we have in India. Today he is celebrating his 62nd birthday. He is one of the most popular and celebrated actors, too, with a list of hit films in his kitty.
The actor had a thriving career of almost 4 decades in the film industry. With notable performances, his personal life was also a centre of attention all the time.
Dutt's life has been a rough ride. In an interview with Zee News just after being released from jail back in 2016, he talked about many subjects, including his time in prison and how he didn't want his children to know the real cause behind his absence from home.
In the interview, Sanjay also revealed many insides, "It was a blessing that when I went to jail, my youngest kids Shahraan and Iqra were only 2 year old. So they don’t remember that time well. I had told my wife not to bring them in jail. I didn’t want them to see me in the kaidi dress. When they grew up, they did ask where was I. She used to tell them that I was shooting in the mountains. When they used to tell her to call me, she used to say that there was no network."
"Luckily, I was allowed to call from jail twice a month. When I used to talk to them, I used to tell them that I have come down from the mountains at a place where I have network. I used to tell them I would go back to shoot in the mountains.” He added. Sanjay also said that he eventually tell them about his jail period when they will be older.
The actor also mentioned that we feel remorse that he was not with his family and wish that his son doesn’t become like him when he is young. “I sometimes feel guilty for what I have done to my family. A person should not think just from the heart, but also from the brain. I have gone through a lot as I have thought from my heart. I sometimes wish my son doesn’t become like me."
We wish Sanjay Dutt a Happy Birthday and good luck for his next big release KGF Chapter 2.
