Sanjay Dutt Told me Never Give Up, Says Wife Maanyata

Mumbai,”I used to have zillions of tensions but when I used to see him. I remember the first meeting (after he went to jail) he said. ‘In my school, I have learnt never give up, it’s my motto. I will survive here, you survive outside’,” Maanyata told the press. Sanjay Dutt said his wife suffered more than him.

Actor Sanjay Dutt, who was released from the Yerawada jail after serving his sentence in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case, had told his wife that his motto was not to give up.
“I used to have zillions of tensions but when I used to see him. I remember the first meeting (after he went to jail) he said. ‘In my school, I have learnt never give up, it’s my motto. I will survive here, you survive outside’,” Maanyata told the press.

She said the fact that he has returned home would take some time for her to sink in.

“I will need some time and space to come to terms with the fact that he is back home,” she said.

Sanjay Dutt said his wife suffered more than him.

“I think she was suffering more as she had to be at home. Bring up kids. Look after them, take decisions. I was in jail,” he said.

But Maanyata disagreed. “I don’t think I have suffered more,” she said.

Filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani is making a biopic on Mr Dutt in which Ranbir Kapoor is playing the title role.

Asked to comment on Ranbir playing him, Mr Dutt said, “I love him.”

The 56-year-old actor also wished Salman Khan ‘great success’ in his career. Salman was recently sent a notice by the Supreme Court, asking why his acquittal by the Bombay High Court should not be overturned in the 2002 hit-and-run case.

“Salman is like my younger brother. I always pray for him and hope his problems get resolved. I wish he becomes a bigger star,” he added.
