Sanjay Dutt Recounts Mother Nargis's Cancer Battle

Sanjay Dutt has opened up about the profound impact of his mother Nargis's death. The legendary actress succumbed to pancreatic cancer in 1981, a devastating loss that occurred mere days before the premiere of Dutt's debut film, 'Rocky'.

Recounting the difficult period, Dutt shared that his mother's treatment involved a major surgery in New York. He was in his late teens and witnessed firsthand the agonizing complications his mother faced. The family's efforts included donating platelets, a testament to their desperation to save her.

During this traumatic time, Dutt's father, Sunil Dutt, made the difficult decision to have Sanjay return to India to finish filming 'Rocky'. Sanjay admitted he couldn't comprehend why he had to leave his mother, who was in a coma, to complete the movie.

He believes Nargis held on until she could return home, passing away shortly after her homecoming. Dutt also honored his father, Sunil Dutt, remembering him as a disciplined parent who instilled values of humility and respect that continue to guide him.
