Sanjay Dutt, who is currently basking in the success of his first South film KGF2, went through several ordeals in life that he never shied away from talking about. The actor also recently opened up about his cancer diagnosis and shared that he cried for a few hours after he learned about it.
Sanjay shared that he was diagnosed with cancer during the lockdown and was initially worried. He said one day when he was walking up the stairs, he was totally out of breath. “I couldn’t breathe, I didn’t know what was happening, so I called my doctor. In the x-ray, more than half of my lungs were covered in water. They had to drain the water out,” Sanjay shared.
He further said that all his family members were hoping it was TB (tuberculosis) but it turned out to be cancer. “I did cry for two-three hours because I was thinking about my kids and my life and my wife and everything. But I said I am going to stop getting weak”. Sanjay then decided to get treated in the US but he did not get the visa. Soon, Hrithik Roshan’s filmmaker father Rakesh Roshan recommended a doctor to Sanjay.
He said, “They told me that I’d lose hair and other things would happen, I’d vomit, so I told the doctor ‘mereko kuch nahi hoga’, I’ll not lose hair, I’ll not vomit, I won’t lie on the bed, and she kind of smiled. I did my chemotherapy and it was crazy, I used to go for chemo, Dubai, and then I used to go to the badminton court and play for two-three hours.”
Sanjay also concluded by saying that one needs to challenge cancer to fight it and take up the route of fitness. “That is how you’re going to challenge this thing. Today, It’s been two months since I have been going to the gym, I lost a nice weight, I’m getting my muscles back, I am getting to be my old self. You know that Sanjay Dutt, I want to be that Sanjay Dutt back. I let myself go, now I won’t,” he concluded.
