From Nargis to Sanjay: A look at Dutt family’s battle with cancer

Sanjay Dutt diagnosed with cancer, here’s a complete history of the disease in his family

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt has been diagnosed with lung cancer (lung cancer) of the third stage. Ever since this news has come, there has been a panic in Bollywood. Sanjay Baba tweeted that he is taking a break from work for some time and is going to the US. 

Sanjay Dutt’s relationship with cancer is quite old. First his mother Nargis also died of blood cancer, after which Sanjay Dutt’s first wife Richa also lost in the battle with brain tumor.

Nargis when chemotherapy was given for the incurable disease like cancer. Then he was very much in pain. So much that she would moan. I started crying This was not seen even by doctors. He asked Sunil Dutt to turn off the life support system of Nargis. So that Nargis gets freedom from this suffering forever. But Sunil Dutt categorically refused to do so. Sunil loved Nargis very much and wanted to live with her till the last moment

This will be called the hard work of doctors or the love of Sunil Dutt. After a few days Nargis came out of coma. It was a miracle in a way. Her condition also started improving. But she could not stay alive for long and she died on 3 May 1981.

The same thing happened with Sanjay Dutt’s first wife and actress Richa Sharma. Richa used to spend her life on Sanjay. She even left her career to get married. But later Richa also got a brain tumour. She lost in this battle and Richa died in 1996.

“I lost my mother Nargis and my first wife Richa (Sharma) to cancer. Naturally, I worry if I hear that a close family member has taken ill,” Dutt said this in one of his media interactions while talking about his current wife Maanayata’s ill health.

The actor celebrated his 61st birthday just two weeks ago and even revealed his intriguing first look from his forthcoming release K.G.F: Chapter 2.
