Sanjay Dutt
, the versatile actor, has been winning fans' hearts with his peculiar style and innate acting skills, whether it's action sequences or emotional confrontations. While his acting made headlines, Dutt's substance abuse in the past is no stranger to the fans.
Sanjay Dutt recalls the incident...
This happened on
Salman Khan
's show Dus Ka Dum, where Sanjay made a guest appearance with
Jackie Shroff
. During the show, the 'Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.' actor narrated an incident between him and his father,
Sunil Dutt
, leaving the other two stunned and in laughter.
The incident occurred before Dutt's Bollywood debut, which ended with him having cuts on his face. 'There is one incident I remember, I was doing a film with
Rajiv Rai
. So, I went to his place at night for a narration.
The narration never happened, but we started consuming liquor. Later, when it was 2 am, I left his house in an inebriated state, and I crashed my car,' the 65-year-old said.
'It was before 'Rocky'; the glass broke on my face, so I had all the cut marks. He had given me a present of four liquor bottles, and with that, I went home and slept,' he continued, before hilariously adding, 'The next morning, when Dutt Sahab (
Sunil
Dutt) woke me up, the first thing he said to me was that it is okay that you had an accident, he forgave me, but he said, 'How did you not forget those 4 bottles in the car, how did you remember those?''
