My grandmother’s favorite star in Bollywood has always been Sunjay Dutt. This is not so because Baba is her friend, the Late Nargis Dutt’s son, but because Baba is the kindest and the most soft hearted star in Bollywood. His manners around the elders is just impeccable (so I have been told again and again). Ofcourse I have seen the other side of Baba also. I have seen his temper. Nonetheless I agree that amongst the three stars in Bollywood, Jackie Schroff, Sunjay Dutt and Salman Khan, known for their generosity, Sunjay is the most magnanimous (Big B is the most tight fisted miser). People have never seen him refuse to help. At the studios whenever there are visitors, he is the most co-operative in allowing people to take photographs with him.
Keeping his all round good nature in mind, I have great difficulty accepting what he is going through. His mother died after living with and suffering the dredged cancer for a long time. His wife too died similarly after suffering a long bout of illness. Recently his father passed away also. I just don’t know how much a guy can take. Women beat their chest, go and cry from roof tops, and on every passing shoulder, for the smallest of things, but men generally suffer in silence. Society does not allow us to cry. Dealing with death of a loved one is not easy. I know, a few years ago my fiancé passed away. My life stopped for a while. But, here we are talking about a wife, a mother and a father. I cannot even imagine Baba’s pain. It is a miracle that he carries on life with a smile on his face.
Can anyone tell me what purpose will this sentence serve? For fourteen plus years he has been going back and forth to the court, does that not count for anything? Did the judge’s psycho babble justifying his decision make any sense to anyone? If you agree with me please lend you voice and protest. If possible sign petitions (if you are presented with one). Do not sit back, do something. Make an effort to free Sunjay Dutt. DO SOMETHING.
