Sanjay Dutt Opens Up About His Love For Cinema, Says He Will Keep Acting Till The Day He Dies

Sanjay Dutt has been delighting us with his performances for more than 4 decades. The actor has had his fair share of challenges in the past, but he never stopped what he loved doing- playing different characters on the silver screen. Be it the 'jaadu ki jhappi' expert Munna Bhai, or the fierce Kancha Cheena from Agneepath, Sanju has left a mark with his performances.

The actor is gearing up for the release of his next, the pan-India film KGF: Chapter 2 and is busy with promoting the film along with co-star Yash.

Talking about his KGF Chapter 2 co-star Yash, Sanju baba said, "I look at Yash and I look at myself 20-30 years back and to see them have this kind of achievement makes me proud. You know being sitting there and seeing all the boys Ranbir, Yash, Ram Charan and JrNTR and all these guys, it makes me proud that in our family of the Indian film fraternity I feel proud to be a part of it."

Sanjay Dutt battled lung cancer in 2020 and went through intense treatment in Mumbai for the same. In October 2020, the actor shared that he was cancer-free. He chose to break the news to his fans on the special occasion of his twins, Iqra and Sharaan's tenth birthday.

His note read, "The last few weeks were a very difficult time for my family and me. But as they say, God gives the hardest battles to his strongest soldiers. And today, on the occasion of my kids¡¯ birthday, I am happy to come out victorious from this battle and be able to give them the best gift I can--the health and well-being of our family."
