Sunil Dutt - A Lifestory

Sunil Dutt was an Indian actor, film producer, director, and politician. He rose from humble beginnings to become one of India's most iconic actors and influential public figures. His career began as a radio announcer before his breakthrough role in Mother India (1957), which catapulted him to stardom. Known for his roles in films like Sujata and Waqt, Dutt later transitioned into film production and direction, creating socially relevant works. His entry into politics in 1984 was driven by a desire to serve the public, particularly after the 1993 Bombay bombings. Dutt was also a devoted family man, famously rescuing his wife, Nargis, during a fire on the Mother India set, and later standing by her side during her battle with cancer until she died in 1981. Despite personal struggles, including supporting his son Sanjay Dutt through various controversies, Sunil Dutt remained a pillar of strength and integrity. His legacy continues to inspire through his contributions to cinema, politics, and social welfare.
