Sanjay Dutt's Cancer Battle: Rakesh Roshan's Crucial Role and Emotional Revelation!

Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt has always been known for his resilience, both on and off-screen. Yet, in a recent interview, the actor, who has faced and overcome numerous personal battles, shared a deeply emotional and vulnerable moment from his life. He revealed his initial emotional turmoil after being diagnosed with lung cancer and recounted how a fellow industry veteran, Rakesh Roshan, played a crucial role in his path to recovery.

 

 

"I Did Cry for 2-3 Hours": A Moment of Emotional Turmoil

 

During a candid conversation, Sanjay Dutt spoke about the day his life changed forever. It was during the lockdown when he experienced breathlessness after climbing stairs. Initially dismissing it, the persistent symptom led him to a doctor. An X-ray revealed that more than half of his lungs were filled with fluid. After further tests, the diagnosis was confirmed: he had lung cancer.

 

Recalling the moment he received the news, Dutt shared, "I was all alone. It was a very big issue for them (the doctors) on how to break the news to me. My sister came and I was like, 'Okay, I've got cancer, now what?'" Despite his tough exterior, the gravity of the situation hit him hard. "I did cry for two-three hours because I was thinking about my kids and my life and my wife and everything. These flashes come," he admitted. He quickly made a decision to not appear weak and to fight the disease head-on.

 

 

The Road to Recovery: A Visa Rejection and a Friend's Guidance

 

Sanjay Dutt and his family initially planned to travel to the United States for treatment. However, his US visa was rejected, forcing them to re-evaluate their plans. It was during this period of uncertainty that his friend and director, Rakesh Roshan, stepped in. Having successfully battled throat cancer himself, Rakesh Roshan became a source of strength and guidance for Dutt.

 

Sanjay Dutt revealed that Roshan, a cancer survivor, recommended a doctor and shared his own experiences with chemotherapy. He warned Dutt about the potential side effects like hair loss and vomiting. However, Dutt's fighting spirit was already in full force. "I told the doctor, 'Mereko kuch nahi hoga' (Nothing will happen to me). I will not lose hair, I will not vomit, I won't lie on the bed," he recalled.

 

 

The Power of the Mind: Fighting Cancer with Grit and Fitness

 

True to his word, Sanjay Dutt approached his chemotherapy with an indomitable will. He shared a unique routine that he followed after every chemo session. After a session in Dubai, he would immediately go to a nearby badminton court and play for two to three hours. He also cycled for an hour every day. "It was crazy," he admitted, "but it was a way of fighting the disease, of telling myself that I am not weak."

 

This incredible display of mental and physical strength paid off. In October 2020, just a few months after his diagnosis, Sanjay Dutt announced that he was officially cancer-free, crediting his resilience and the support of his family and friends for his recovery.

 

Sanjay Dutt's candid revelation about his emotional breakdown and his journey to recovery is a powerful story of human resilience. His initial tears for his family show a vulnerable side of the superstar, while his decision to fight back with an iron will and the support of a friend like Rakesh Roshan serve as a beacon of hope. His journey is a testament to the fact that even the toughest of individuals can be shaken, but with courage and a strong support system, any battle can be won.
