SAW MY FAMILY BREAK DOWN AROUND ME: SANJAY DUTT

Actor Sanjay Dutt recently opened up about his battle with cancer. Sanjay was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer back in August 2020, when the world had just been hit by the COVID-19 pandemic. On Wednesday, the actor along with his sister Priya Dutt attended an event at a hospital where he opened up about his cancer diagnosis and more. Sanjay emerged victorious after his cancer struggle and is currently making headlines for his ripped biceps and triceps in his workout pictures.

Sanjay Dutt was shooting for KGF 2 while undergoing cancer treatment. He shot intense action scenes and continued to work out during that time.

Talking about how he was told of his cancer diagnosis, he said, “I had a backache and was treated with a hot water bottle and painkillers until one day I couldn't breathe. I was taken to the hospital but the thing was that the cancer news was not broken to me properly. My wife, my family or my sisters, nobody was around me at that time. I was all alone and suddenly this guy came and told me 'you have cancer'.”

The actor further said that after learning about his condition, he preferred to die rather than take chemotherapy. He said, "My wife was in Dubai, so Priya (sister Priya Dutt) came to me. My first reaction was that, once you hear something like this, your whole life reflects on you. I saw my family break down around me. I have a history of cancer in my family. My mom died of pancreatic cancer, and my wife (Richa Sharma) died of brain cancer. So, the first thing I said was that I don't want to take chemotherapy. If I'm supposed to die, I will just die but I don't want any treatment."

At the event, Sanjay also shared that while he recovered, he did not want to keep the world in the dark about his cancer diagnosis. The actor said even though a lot of people hide it, he chose to speak about it, even at the cost of his career so that he could help people in need.
