Sanjay Dutt, fondly called Baba, is celebrating his birthday, marking another year in his illustrious career. The actor’s journey, mirroring aspects of Rishi Kapoor’s, is one of resilience and reinvention within the film industry. Both actors faced personal hardships and fought to distinguish themselves from their family legacies.
Growing up, Dutt’s birthdays were cherished occasions organized by his mother, Nargis. He later endured challenging periods, including time in prison, and experienced emotional betrayals. However, Dutt credits his marriage to Maanyata for bringing stability.
Throughout his forty-year career, Dutt has left a mark on Indian cinema, particularly with his portrayals of complex characters. From the gangster roles in films like ‘Hathyar’ to the more nuanced performances in ‘Naam’ and ‘Vaastav,’ Dutt has proven his versatility. His role in ‘Munnabhai MBBS’, a film that showcased his softer side, further endeared him to audiences. He continues to be a prominent figure in Bollywood.
