Today marks the death anniversary of Bollywood stalwart Sunil Dutt. Though he may have passed, memories of him remain fresh in the hearts of fans. Sunil Dutt, not only an actor but also the father of Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt, is etched in cinematic history.
Sanjay Dutt took to Twitter to share poignant photos, captioned, “Holding onto the memories and your love, Dad. You remain a guiding light in my life. Missing you today and every day.” One photo captures Sunil Dutt’s youthfulness, while the other depicts a scene from Sanjay Dutt’s film Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., where he embraces his father.
Sunil Dutt’s name is synonymous with Bollywood greatness, yet his journey was far from easy. Born in Khurd Jhelum, his father passed away when he was just five. After completing his education in Lucknow, few know that his real name was Balraj Dutt; he adopted the name Sunil Dutt before entering films.
Despite the challenges, Sunil Dutt’s legacy endures, a testament to his talent and resilience. Today, as we remember him, his contributions to Indian cinema and his enduring influence on his son’s life are celebrated, ensuring that his memory lives on.
