When Rajkumar Hirani helmed Sanju starring Ranbir Kapoor in the pivotal role, the fans of Sanjay Dutt got to know how close he was to his mother Nargis. He even went into depression and was broken when he lost his mother to pancreatic cancer, three days before his Bollywood debut Rocky. Now, recently, his sister Namrata Dutt made another shocking revelation that how Nargis tried to be tough with Sanjay during his childhood but always ended up giving to his demands.
In Munna Bhai's autobiography, 'Sanjay Dutt: The Crazy Untold Story of Bollywood’s Bad Boy' by Yasser Usman, sister Namrata Dutt revealed that her mother even used to throw chappals at him. She has been quoted in the book as saying, “Mom sometimes got angry with Sanjay. She’d spew expletives like suwar, ullu, gadha and even throw a chappal at him.”
The book also quoted his sister Priya Dutt as saying that once, Nargis thought that Sanjay was gay as he used to lock himself up with his guy friends. "Once I heard Mom say to a friend, "Why is Sanjay's room always locked when his friends are there? What is the big deal? I hope he's not gay."
She further shed light on how Nargis trusted Sanjay Dutt blindly and despite several hints, she refused to believe that Sanjay was a drug addict. “She trusted Sanjay against the mounting evidence that he was an addict. Even when well-wishers tried to talk to Nargis about Sanjay, her default reply was ‘My son never drinks and never touches drugs.’”
