Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 25 (ANI): On the occasion of the 20th death anniversary of legendary actor and politician Sunil Dutt, his son, actor Sanjay Dutt, took to social media to share heartfelt memories and express the deep impact his father had on shaping his life. Sunil Dutt, who passed away on May 25, 2005, left behind a legacy not only as a prominent actor but also as a pillar of strength and humility for his family and the public. Sanjay, in a touching Instagram post, shared a series of photographs, some of which showcased cherished moments from his childhood and his film career with his father. The first image captured a young Sanjay smiling beside his father, while the second one featured an iconic still from their famous movie Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., a film that became synonymous with the father-son duo's on-screen chemistry. In his emotional caption, Sanjay Dutt reflected on the resilience and courage his father taught him. 'You didn't just raise me, you showed me how to stand tall when life gets tough. Love you dad and miss you every day...' wrote Sanjay, expressing his deep gratitude for the lessons Sunil Dutt imparted to him, which have helped him face life's toughest moments with strength and determination. Along with Sanjay, his sister, Priya Dutt, also shared an emotional tribute to their late father. In her post, Priya spoke about how Sunil Dutt, despite his towering influence in the film industry and politics, never sought recognition or glory. 'Dad, when you smiled, we knew everything was okay. You were our pillar-- the one person who stood by us, behind us, and guided us to move forward with the right values of humility, gratitude, compassion, and love,' she wrote in her heartfelt post. 'You always taught me that people must remember you by your good work and your good deeds, not by your status or money,' she wrote in the caption, adding, 'You never wanted anything named after you, or statues built. You didn't need that, as you are etched in the hearts of the people whose lives you touched. I feel so proud to be your daughter. I miss you, but you remain with me in all that I do.'
