In an exclusive conversation with IndiaToday.in, Sanjay Dutt, who battled cancer, revealed that he wants to counsel as many cancer patients as he can.
The year was 2020, when Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt was diagnosed with lung cancer. Following his diagnosis, Sanjay Dutt underwent extensive treatment for the illness at a hospital in Mumbai. Months after getting diagnosed with cancer, Sanjay declared that he was cancer-free. After battling a deadly disease, Sanjay now wants to counsel as many cancer patients as he can.
In an exclusive interview with IndiaToday.in, Sanjay revealed how he kept a positive outlook while he was undergoing treatment for cancer in Mumbai. He also opened up about his wish to counsel cancer patients.
During an exclusive conversation with us, Sanjay Dutt revealed that he was initially shocked when he got to know that he was diagnosed with cancer.
"I just told myself I don’t have cancer. I said it was impossible. This cannot happen. I went through that process of whatever it is, chemotherapy. And Dr. Sevanti, who is one of the most fantastic doctors I have met in my life, took care of me. Thanks to Rakesh Roshan saab, he recommended her. Everything she said, I will do the operation. She said baal girenge, I said nahi girenge, I used to do chemotherapy and I used to go and workout," said Dutt.
On being asked as to how he managed to keep a positive outlook, Sanjay added, "It is just the mind which is so important. That is why I want to counsel so many cancer patients. I want to talk to them and I want to tell them you have to keep your mind strong. You keep your mind strong, you will get out of it. I did that and one thing is that I never hid that fact. Arey yaar mujhe chupa do. Kyu chupa do?"
Before concluding his chat with us, Sanjay said it was because of the prayers of his fans, people from across India, that he is fit and fine today.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Sanjay will next be seen in KGF: Chapter 2 with Raveena Tandon and Yash. The film is scheduled for release on April 14, 2022.
