The Dutt family is one of Bollywood’s most famous families, with legendary figures like actor and former Union Minister Sunil Dutt and actress Nargis. Their son, Sanjay Dutt, entered the film industry in 1981 with his debut movie Rocky, which was a big success. Over time, he acted in more than 135 films, earning the nickname Sanju Baba. His charming Chocolate Boy image once made him a favorite among young women.
His immense popularity among female fans even led to an extraordinary event in 2018. One day, Sanjay Dutt received an unexpected call from the police, informing him that a woman named Nisha Patil had passed away 14 days earlier and had named him as the nominee for her Rs 72 crore property.
The news left him shocked. He immediately clarified that the property should go to the deceased’s family. However, official bank records confirmed his name as the rightful beneficiary, including details linking his Pali Hill residence. Despite legal consultations, Sanjay refused to claim any part of the inheritance and instead sought legal mediation to ensure the family received their rightful share.
With a net worth of Rs 295 crore, Sanjay Dutt earns Rs 8-15 crore per film. He owns homes in Mumbai and Dubai, runs a whiskey brand, co-owns a cricket team, and continues acting in Bollywood and South Indian films.
