Thackeray was one of the few people who stood by him in the tough times. Sanjay Dutt met Bal Thackeray and offered to work for his party but the party president asked him to concentrate on his film career instead.
Sunil Dutt, his father never left Sanju alone and tried his best to save the prestige of his family by standing beside his convicted son during his low phases of life.
Model Ria Pillai entered the life of Sanjay Dutt like a ray of hope. They got married to each other. Divorce intruded their relationship, and another streak of light left Sanjay.
Slowly, Sanjay drifted towards his acting career and successfully revived it too, thanks to his loyal fans and gifted talent.
Sanjay mellowed down as a person and became one of the most helpful and down to earth beings from the film industry. A man who stayed away from unnecessary gimmicks, Sanju preferred the company of his industry friends like Suniel Shetty, Sanjay Gupta amidst his blood strings with Priya Dutt, his sister and Trishala, his daughter.
The man lived under constant fear of being termed as a terrorist. Once that got over, the axe of illegal possession of arms got over him. And now, after spending the last 14 years like a caged bird, Sanjay Dutt has been sentenced for a six year rigourous imprisonment. This time though he knows his fate.
Shockingly, the man suffered 14 years to get a 6 years punishment. Weird are the ways of the almighty. It is better to live in pain than to die with shame…atleast he will have a chance to erase the black shades engraved on his soul.
There are some mysterious questions which are left unanswered..
Was Sanju born to live in pain?
How much did he suffer on the hands of law, and nature?
Will he come back strong after 6 years?
Does the man pretend to be innocent or has he actually changed?
Will Sanjay Dutt emerge as a gutsy man after 6 long years or will he succumb to pressure?
