Sanjay Dutt gets nostalgic

The star visited the birthplace of his mother Nargis, famous Bollywood actress of yesteryears, in Kolkata.

“I am infused with fond memories of my mother while visiting her birthplace in Kolkata. It also thrilled me with a nostalgic feeling. It's a very emotional moment for me. I thank the people of Kolkata,” he said.


Nargis, earlier known as Fatima Rashid, was born on June 1, 1929 at her Indian Mirror street residence in Central Kolkata. The dilapidated two-storeyed house now has lost all its glory but is full of old memories that still draw people's attention.

On Sunday, Sanjay was taken to the room where Nargis was believed to have been born to a Muslim mother and a Hindu father. Sanjay spent about ten minutes in the room all alone, and seemed overcome by nostalgia when he came out.

Nargis ruled the silver screen for nearly three decades since the early 40s, captivating the audience with her beauty and talent in films like ‘Awara’, ‘Shri 420’ and ‘Mother India’. She died in 1981 after a prolonged battle with pancreatic cancer. Ironically, she died just a few days before Sanjay’s debut film ‘Rocky’ released at theatres.
