| Sanjay Dutt |
Nowadays, Sanjay Dutt is in the news for a long time,
courtesy to his biopic Sanju. In the movie, Ranbir Kapoor had stepped into the
shoes of Sanjay Dutt. The movie has shattered a number of box-office records
since the day of its release, and is presently the 5th highest grossing movie
in India.
The movie has put light on many aspects of Sanjay Dutt's
life, including his relationship with his parents, his drug addiction, and also
his involvement in the 1993 Mumbai blasts and the jail term which followed.
In a media chat to a daily, recalling the events of his
life, Sanjay Dutt disclosed, "A gun destroyed my life." He was sentenced
under the anti-terror law TADA for his alleged involvement in the 1993 Mumbai
serial blasts after a gun was discovered from his house days after the blasts.
The actor revealed, "I have paid a huge price for keeping a gun at my
place." In a statement, Dutt had told to the police that he had kept the
gun to protect his family, as they were receiving threats from the people
during Mumbai riots after Babri mosque demolition.
The terrorist charges were but abolished later, and the
actor was then convicted under the Arms Act for which he served a long-term in
the Yerwada jail. "I am not a terrorist, please read the confession. I was
sentenced under the Arms Act. But I did not run away. I came back like a man
and faced arrest," Dutt told.
