Sanjay Dutt inherited ₹72 crore property from a fan. What he did with it will surprise you
₹ 72 crore before passing away in 2018(AFP)
What did Sanjay do with all the money?
In a recent interview with Curly Tales, Sanjay was asked about the much-publicised incident from 2018 involving Nisha Patil, a terminally ill fan who left her entire estate to the actor. Sanjay confirmed the unbelievable moment with quiet dignity, stating, 'I gave it back to her family.'
The fan, a 62-year-old Mumbai homemaker, had reportedly instructed her bank to transfer her wealth to Dutt after her passing. The news had made headlines at the time for its sheer scale and sentiment. Now, years later, Sanjay's gesture of returning the inheritance is earning him quiet praise, revealing a side of the actor that goes beyond the screen.
Sanjay Dutt's career
Known for his magnetic on-screen presence, Sanjay Dutt has had a rollercoaster career since his 1981 debut in Rocky. From iconic films like Naam, Saajan, Khal Nayak, and Vaastav to the beloved Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., Sanjay has seen both immense stardom and personal setbacks. His legal troubles following the 1993 Bombay blasts saw him serve a five-year prison sentence, completed in 2016.
Sanjay's upcoming films
Sanjay was last seen in Bhootnii, Housefull 5 earlier this year. Next in line is the Telugu film Akhanda 2 starring Balakrishna, which will release on 25 September. Fans are also awaiting Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar, an espionage-action thriller alongside Ranveer Singh, R Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, Akshaye Khanna and Sara Arjun. The film is set to hit the theatres on 5 December. Dhurandhar's release will clash with Prabhas and Sanjay's highly awaited The RajaSaab. He is also set to appear in the highly anticipated Kannada film KD – The Devil in 2026.

Nausheen Ali Sardar; in the show Vasudha Nausheen Ali Sardar has quit the TV show Vasudha, almost a year after it went on air. There's buzz that her exit was due to creative differences. Ask the actress about it and she says, 'That's not true. I am a professional and never interfere in creative decisions.' She adds, 'There were some issues, which I thought would be resolved, but things didn't move in the right direction and hence, the production house and I decided to part ways. It was all amicable.' Her last day on set was an emotional one. She shares, 'I actually didn't know that it was my last day of shoot. I thought there were a few more days, so I wasn't prepared to say goodbye. But when I was suddenly told after my scenes were all done, I got emotional. My best wishes are with the entire team and the show. I even had a dear friend on the set - a dog called Rocky, who I will miss. It was an interesting journey that lasted around 12 months.

'Bakaiti' review: A cash-strapped family gets on each other's nerves – and yours too at times
The title makes it clear. No surprises here. Don't complain that you haven't been warned. Do remember to turn down the volume. The ZEE5 series Bakaiti – nonsensical talk in Hindi – is about the Katarias from Ghaziabad. That old saying about a family that fights together but stays together? It sounds rubbishy – bakaiti, actually – but applies to the Katarias, who start and end their days by sniping at each other at high volume. The lawyer Sanjay (Rajesh Tailang) lives in his ancestral house with his wife Sushma (Sheeba Chadha), daughter Naina (Tanya Sharma) and son Bharat (Aditya Shukla). There's also Sanjay's father-in-law (Ramesh Rai), who is addicted to his phone. The family is struggling financially, forcing Sanjay to rent out a room. His children react hysterically, but are forced to accept the inevitable. It helps that the tenant, Chirag (Keshav Sadhna), is personable, especially to Naina. But the problems are never-ending. Like the water meter in the house that nobody remembers to turn off on time, the Katarias have forgotten what it means to be a family. They turn on each other so vigorously that you expect a murder or two. The siblings are especially adept at slanging matches so loud, mean-spirited and hurtful that it's a marvel neither them falls to a brain aneurysm. Bakaiti, written by Gunjan Saxena, Neha Pawar and Sheetal Kapoor and with Arnav Chakravarty as showrunner, wants you to get behind the Katarias despite their nerve-shredding behaviour. The creators and director Ameet Guptha firmly believe that even as the characters explode and implode in flamboyant fashion, they have enough love among themselves to rally when the muck unerringly hits the fan. Sanjay's woes are tied up with his terrible equation with his brother Ajay (Parvinder Jit Singh). When they share the same room, another battlefront opens up. It's all quite exhausting – the eardrum-shattering squabbles, the overwrought emotions, the unavoidable suspicion that this lot is better off without each other. The Katarias' claim to redemption is questionable. What the seven-episode Bakaiti does well is to reveal how a low bank balance can emotionally bankrupt a family. Very few shows or films are exploring the harsh effects of low income on the average Indian family. Beneath Bakaiti 's fussy comedy simmers the immense distress that is brought on by forced sacrifices and compromises, academic dreams shot to bits, regular reminders of impending doom. Sheeba Chadha and Rajesh Tailang are typically solid – Chadha is especially fantastic in a scene where she goes after her children. Tanya Sharma and Aditya Shukla turn out to be the surprise package. Although Shukla's Bharat initially appears thuggish and obnoxious, and Sharma's Naina flies off the handle too often, their equation is believable, touching and the source of occasional hope. Play

Bakaiti Review: Netflix's Delhi Crime fame Rajesh Tailang & Sheeba Chaddha series shows the woes of a middle-class family in the most realistic way
Language: Hindi Director: Ameet Guptha Cast: Rajesh Tailang, Sheeba Chaddha, Aditya Shukla and more Not impoverished, but middle-class people have their own set of problems. Unlike those under the poverty line, they are not really poor, but their challenges are huge. They are mostly struggling to make both ends meet. Sadly, they have to maintain a certain status in the society, yet they don't have that kind of disposable income. And that is the story of Kataria Parivaar of Bakaiti web series set in Ghaziabad. They can give basic education to their children, but they can't afford the kind of education that every ambitious child dreams of, going to a reputed college away from home. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Bakaiti is indeed a story of every middle-class family shown in the most nuanced possible way. Revolving around the Kataria family, the Bakaiti series shows the helplessness of the father, Sanjay (Rajesh Tailang) of the family, who is unable to send her studious daughter for post-graduation to Mumbai despite her getting half the scholarship. As an advocate, Sanjay is unable to make enough money, but is not willing to sell off the house that his father and he built. He and his wife, Sushma (Sheeba Chaddha) decide to rent out one of the rooms of the house. Now, the problem is that both the kids, Naina (Tanya Sharma) and their cricket-obsessed younger son Bharat (Aditya Shukla), are not willing to share a room. They are used to their own privacy and their own space. A still from Bakaiti Bakaiti beautifully navigates middle-class struggles. The water motor in the house also plays a very important role in the series. Whenever there is a tense moment in the series, it starts giving the alarm that it is time to switch it off. But not a single member in the family is willing to run up to the terrace to do this chore. The show also talks about another family that is Sanjay's ( Rajesh Tailang) side. Sanjay's brother, who runs the family furniture business, is desperate to sell the ancestral house because he believes that is logical, but Sanjay refuses. Though both families fight among each other, they come together in times of need. Like all middle-class families, there is always financial tension, but they try to navigate through all the hurdles and stay together. Layered with clashing views and generation gap, the family is together through thick and thin. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD No out-of-the-box storyline, but it will touch your heart for its simplicity. The story takes a turn when Naina (Tanya Sharma) goes missing when her father refuses to send her to Mumbai for her post-graduation. We, belonging to the middle class, will understand the feelings of sacrificing dreams because of family situations. And one who has gone through such situations of sacrificing her dreams of moving to a big city for education, being crushed because of financial crunch, will empathise with Naina (Tanya Sharma) all the more. Life can be really cruel if you don't come from money or circles of power. Rating: 3 out of 5 WATCH the trailer of Bakaiti here:
