With Rajkumar Hirani's stellar, Ranbir Kapoor-starrer 'Sanju' becoming one of the biggest releases of 2018, Bollywood now has a closer look into the controversial life of Sanjay Dutt. Keeping in tune with the raving success of the movie, a throwback video from the 90s of Dutt talking about the tragic death of his mother Nargis has risen. In the video, Dutt says, “When my mother died, I didn't cry, I had no emotions. It was after two years, I was sitting in a group and a guy started playing this tape. And, I heard my mother's voice advising me and telling me things and how much she loved me and how much she cared about me and how much she expected from me.”
He adds, “I think after two years I just burst out and I cried for about four-five hours. Everything that was inside me, I took it out and once that happened I was changed man.” Nargis died of pancreatic cancer in 1981, just a few days before the release of Dutt's debut film 'Rocky'. His father, late actor Sunil Dutt had revealed that a seat was kept vacant at the premiere.
The tape in which Dutt breaks into tears, Nargis says, “More than anything Sanju, keep your humility, your character, never show off, always be humble and always respect the elders. That is the thing that is going to take you far and that is going to give you strength in your work.”
