Sanjay Dutt, whose life of ups and downs has inspired a Bollywood biopic Sanju, says he did not share an easy bond with his late father Sunil Dutt.
The actor, who has three kids, reminisced about his dad on Father’s Day.
“Whatever I am today is because of my father. He is my inspiration and I miss him every day. I did not always share an easy relationship with him. But he always stood by me. I wish he was here to see me as a free man and the beautiful family that I have today. He would have been proud,” Sanjay said.
It was in February 2016 that Sanjay walked out of jail completing his prison term for illegal possession of arms. For the actor, his father was always a pillar of strength.
While Sanjay often shares memories of his father on social media, it is this bond that finds focus in Rajkumar Hirani’s Sanju, which features Ranbir Kapoor essay the title role and Paresh Rawal as Sunil Dutt.
Talking about his own children, Sanjay said: “Trishala, Iqra and Shahran are such good kids. I am so proud of them... I can’t wait to get back home and spend sometime with them.”
Sanjay is currently busy shooting for Prassthanam.
