for his films like Sujata, Mother India, Reshma and Shera, Milan, Naagin, Jani

personal life was very struggling. Sharing own memories associated with Sunil
Dutt, senior film journalist Jayaprakash Chaukse says, "Sunil Dutt has
fought impossible battles in all his life. He went to the United States twice
to get his son's drug addiction, and his wife was treated." He was
agitated during that. "His troubles never diminished," says Chaukse.
Cancer and drugs made him very helpless and sad. He traveled twice from Mumbai
to Chandigarh to create awareness among people about drugs and melanoma. " Sunil Dutt's 91st BirthdayAnniversay
Chaukse
explains that 'Sunil Dutt did not want to play the role of villain on screen.
When no film was found from 1971 to 1975, his career began to falter, and then
actress Sadhana and RK Nayyar asked him to work in the film 'Geeta Mera Naam.'
After explaining a lot, he played the role of a villain for the first time.
From then, he started getting films again. "
Pandhari Zucker
was Sunil Dutt's makeup, man and photographer, from 1958 to 2005. Remembering
Sunil Dutt, Pandhari Dada had told that 'Dutt sahib used to help others a lot.
Sunil Dutt Saheb himself took my wife to the hospital after my wife was not
admitted to the Hinduja Hospital. She had requested all the doctors to treat my
wife better, and then she had to bear the hospital's entire cost, although my
wife could not survive. It hurt him a lot. "
"If there
was no work being done, Sunil Dutt used to get very angry, but he also had a
lot of fun of joking."
Sharing one
such moment, Pandhari Dada had said, "For the film Hamraj, I was doing his
makeup for the character of 110 years old. Then Nargis came to meet him. She
asked about Dutt Sahab that dada; where is Dutt Saheb?. On hearing this, Dutt
Saheb made a gesture to tell me nothing, and after a whole two-hour wait, I
felt bad when Nargis started walking. I told Nargis Ji, Dutt Saheb is next to
you. Hearing this, Nargis was shocked, and Dutt Sahab laughed loudly. Nargis Ji
came to me and started saying that you made my husband such that I could not
recognize him despite being his wife. Then she gave me her precious watch as a
souvenir."
How did he get
a break on the radio?
Famous radio
broadcaster Amin Sayani was an old friend of Sunil Dutt. Sunil Dutt was also a
broadcaster in Radio Ceylon before becoming a hero. Sayani and Dutt were good
friends from that time.
Sayani had
said, "During radio programs, Dutt used to meet big film personalities.
Many people used to look at him, and they used to say that you are such a
handsome, tall, strong young man, such a handsome person. Why are you not a
film artist?" "
After one such the meeting, filmmaker Ramesh Sehgal offered Sunil Dutt the role of a hero for his
film 'Railway Platform', which he accepted.
Amin Sayani
further said, "Remembering my friend, I would say that for the sixty-five
years I have been associated with the Indian film world, I have found all kinds
of people, music stars, film stars, producers, directors, and politicians.
Among them, if you ask me to choose the most beautiful person, I will take the
name of Dutt Saheb. I still remember how thousands of people took to the
streets when he died. He was an outstanding actor, politician, and a human
being. "
