You Were Everything to Me

Sanjay Dutt has shared a heartwarming post, remembering his father, veteran actor Sunil Dutt on his 16th death anniversary. The KGF star posted an old monochrome picture of him with his father and penned a moving tribute to the late actor. “A parent, an idol, a friend, a mentor – you were everything to me. Love you Dad, miss you,” Sanjay Dutt shared alongside the priceless throwback. Sunil Dutt had suffered a heart attack on May 25, 2005, and passed away at his Bandra residence.

Sanjay Dutt’s daughter Trishala commented on the post with a heart emoji. His younger sister, politician Priya Dutt, also shared a photograph of a young Sunil Dutt on her Instagram. “That smile lights up my day….. #sunildutt #love #dad,” she captioned the post.

Sunil Dutt made his acting debut with director Ramesh Saigal’s 1955 film “Railway Platform” opposite Johnny Walker and Nalini Jaywant. But it was Mehboob Khan’s classic “Mother India” in 1956 which catapulted him to stardom. Two years after the film, Sunil Dutt tied the knot with his co-star Nargis and the couple had three children — Sanjay Dutt, Namrata Dutt, and Priya Dutt.
