Rahul
Bose:
"The
verdict
is
comparatively
mild,
but
nonetheless
a
blow
to
Sanjay
Dutt
and
his
family.
So
far
he
has
shown
a
tremendous
strength
of
will.
I
hope
he'll
be
as
strong
no
matter
what
the
sentence."
Dino
Morea:
"Thank
God
he
has
been
acquitted
from
TADA.
That
was
the
big
worry
for
all
those
who
love
this
fabulous
guy.
Without
sounding
biased
let
me
say
Sanjay
Dutt
is
a
person
who
wouldn't
hurt
a
fly.
He
shouldn't
suffer
any
more.
I'm
glad
he
got
bail."
Shilpa
Shetty:
"I'm
so
glad
he
has
been
acquitted
for
the
TADA
case
.
I've
had
the
opportunity
to
know
him
and
work
with
him.
I
cannot
imagine
him
being
a
criminal
or
a
terrorist
.
Sanju
is
too
good-hearted
to
hurt
anyone
intentionally.
But
at
the
same
time
the
judiciary
has
been
fair.
Let's
wait
and
watch."
Irrfan
Khan:
"I
wanted
to
see
him
free.
I'm
grieved."
Madhur
Bhandarkar:
"This
verdict
is
the
best
that
Sanju
and
all
his
well-wishers-and
that
includes
practically
everyone
in
the
industry
-could
have
hoped
for.
The
industry
can
breathe
a
sigh
of
relief
,
both
on
a
personal
and
professional
level.
So
much
finance
was
hanging
on
the
verdict.
I'm
sure
the
worst
is
over
for
Sanju...and
filmmakers
who
were
holding
their
breath."
Sujoy
Ghosh:
"Sanjay
Dutt
cannot
be
guilty
of
any
crimes.
He's
everyone's
super-hero.
So
happy
he's
almost
out
of
it."
Sanjay
Gupta:
"The
greatest
thing
about
today's
verdict
is
the
victory
of
justice.
Thanks
to
the
verdict
today,
the
name
of
the
distinguished
Dutt
family
remains
untarnished.
The
Dutts'
years
of
selfless
service
to
the
country
and
its
people
stands
vindicated.
And
we've
the
judiciary
and
the
Almighty
to
thank
for
that.
As
far
as
Sanju
is
concerned,
I
think
on
Monday
night
he
finally
got
the
peaceful
sleep
he
had
been
missing
for
years.
The
last
few
weeks
have
been
truly
traumatic
for
him.
It's
the
love
and
prayers
of
his
fans
and
the
people
of
India
that
has
brought
him
to
this
happy
day.
Personally,
I
never
for
a
moment
doubted
Sanju
would
walk
away
from
this
crisis
as
he
has
done
from
all
other
crises
in
his
life.
He's
fought
a
long
and
tough
battle.
And
he
has
won.
Thank
God!
