A couple of days back, Sanjay Dutt was admitted to hospital after complaining of breathlessness. Sanjay Dutt had then taken to social media to inform his fans that he’s taking a short break for medical treatment. And later it was confirmed that Sanjay Dutt has been diagnosed with Lung cancer and is currently on stage 4. Actor’s wife Maanayata Dutt, who flew from Dubai to Mumbai, recently released a statement to thank his fans for their concern and prayers.
Sanjay Dutt’s doctor Jalil Parkar in his latest interview revealed that it took some time for the actor to accept the truth and be mentally prepared. Now the actor is very positive about it and wants to resume shooting post the treatment. While speaking to India TV, Dr. Parkar gave a quick update about his health and said, “It took him a while to hear about his illness for the first time and to accept that truth and to be mentally prepared, but next time when we met, Sanju looked very positive. He also said that he wants to return to the shoot soon after the treatment and complete all his pending films.”
In her recently released statement, Maanayata Dutt said, “Sanju has been through many ups and downs in his life, but what has kept him going through every tough phase has always been your adulation and support. And for this, we will always be grateful. We are now being tested through yet another challenge, and I know, the same love and warmth will see him through this time as well. As a family, we have decided to face this with positivity and grace. We are going to go about our life as normally as possible, with a smile, because this will be a tough fight and a long journey. And, we need to do this for Sanju, without any negativity setting in.”

“In these trying times, unfortunately, I have been unable to be by his side in the hospital, due to my home quarantine which ends in a couple of days. Every battle has a torchbearer and someone who holds the fort. Priya who has worked extensively over two decades with our family-run Cancer foundation, and who has also seen her mother battle this illness, has been our incredible torchbearer, while I will hold the fort,” she added further.
