I had the honor of meeting Sunil Dutt, visiting the Ajanta Studios, under his house, having lunch with him and Priya, his daughter, treating him medically, and spending a few days with him in 1984 when in Bombay with my wife. He always said, Neil when you come back to India we will travel together. “You have seen and experienced a part of India I never knew existed.” I never expected him to pass so soon. Time flies. Next year I plan to take my daughter, who I delivered at home myself, and who was born the year after I met Sunil. She was born on the anniversary of Nargis Dutt’s death. I never saw a man who loved his wife and missed her as much as Sunil missed Nargis. He made me promise I would do something special for people who had the disease and the condition of Nargis. I will keep my word.

Dutt’s 1964 classic ‘Yaadein’ took a lot of courage and character to make

FYI: Duttji was a soft Marxist i.e. a Congress party activist.

Dutt then started praising Marxism and said: "It is a wonderful philosophy. It is unfortunate that we have left it."

Indeed he did, back to Sanju baba in that case. Sure he has/d links to the Mumbai underworld, but we can’t deny how cool he was in that “saqi, saqi” song with Koena Mitra…

Anna, my first memory of Sunil Dutt (and Bollywood films for that matter) is also Mother India. That movie was SO depressing and dysfunctional… it was fantastic. This is sad news, but at least he lead a full life and left a lasting legacy.

He was a good actor and a GREAT man. Ofcourse he had his share of human flaws, thats what makes him real.

RC, It is not about sanjay dutt right?

I became popular because of them, because of their love for me. I wanted to do something in return for their love. I had been in the film industry barely seven years when war broke out with China in 1962. I signed up a few films and gave the amount to Pandit Nehru Â– for our brave soldiers fighting under challenging conditions.

Sunil Dutt was making sacrifices like these while his son Sanjay Dutt got involved with anti-national elements and got into trouble. What a loser that Sanjay Dutt is .... while his Dad was a real life Hero, he was taped sucking up to the mob boss Chhota Shakeel.
