We had recently reported how Sanjay Dutt was hospitalised on August 8 after complaining of breathlessness and uneasiness. The Munnabhai MBBS star was discharged after having been under observation for two days.
Now, as per latest industry reports Dutt has been diagnosed with lung cancer. It is believed that the cancer is in an advanced stage and will need immediate treatment. He will be headed to the US for treatment. Sanjay Dutt also took to his social media accounts to announce taking a short break from his film work. His post read, “Hi friends, I am taking a short break from work for some medical treatment. My family and friends are with me and I urge my well wishers not to worry if unnecessarily speculate. With your love and good wishes, I will be back soon”.
Dutt has a history of cancer in his family. His mother, superstar Nargis Dutt, had succumbed to pancreatic cancer, back in 1981, just 3 days shy of Dutt’s big silver screen debut in Rocky. His first wife Richa Sharma, too passed away due to Cancer.
Dutt has been staying apart from his wife and two kids because of the lockdown. His wife Maanayata and his twins are in Dubai. We wish the family strength in this difficult time. May he recover soon.
