Mumbai:
Sanjay
Dutt's
conviction
on
Thursday
by
the
Supreme
Court
in
the
1993
Mumbai
blasts
case
has
left
the
Hindi
film
industry
in
shock
and
dismay.
Filmmakers
like
Mahesh
Bhatt
and
Karan
Johar
are
sad
about
the
judgement
for
the
"good-hearted" man,
who
has
been
entertaining
movie-goers
for
the
past
over
three
decades.
The
Supreme
Court
on
Thursday
upheld
Sanjay's
conviction
under
the
Arms
Act
for
illegally
possessing
weapons,
and
sent
him
to
five
years'
imprisonment.
Filmmakers
and
actors
took
to
Twitter
to
share
their
views
on
the
conviction.
Here's
what
they
had
to
say:
Mahesh
Bhatt:
Heart
Broken.
Just
heard
that
Sanjay
Dutt
has
to
go
to
jail
for
five
years.
I
expected
mercy!
Alas,
it
did
not
happen.
Kunal
Kohli:
The
real
planners
of
the
1993
blasts
are
sitting
safely
in
Pakistan.
Till
they
are
brought
to
book,
justice
will
not
be
served.
The
1993
blast
case
should
not
be
made
about
Sanjay
Dutt.
Karan
Johar:
I
am
truly
shattered
to
hear
of
Sanju's
sentence...
the
nicest
guy
I
have
known
just
doesn't
deserve
this.
My
heart
goes
out
to
him.
Vishal
Dadlani:
I
stand
with
Sanjay
Dutt,
always
will.
He's
my
brother.
He
made
mistakes,
but
he's
served
more
than
his
time,
in
terms
of
mental
stress.
I
am
not
contesting
or
denying
the
law,
but
it
breaks
my
heart
that
he
has
to
face
this.
He
has
done
so
much,
so
selflessly
for
so
many!
When
I
barely
knew
him,
I
needed
some
personal
help
in
a
family
matter.
I
just
asked,
and
Sanjay
went
above
and
beyond
duty
to
help.
I'm
not
denying
the
law.
But
am
I
not
allowed
to
feel
sad
for
a
friend?
Shekhar
Ravijani:
He's
the
most
loved
person
in
the
business.
One
of
the
nicest
people
I
know.
Man
with
a
big
heart.
My
brother.
I
am
with
Sanjay
Dutt.
Ashish
Chowdhry:
There
are
bad
guys,
there
are
nice
guys.
Sanjay
Dutt
most
definitely
is
the
latter.
By
far
he's
the
kindest
and
nicest
guy
I
know.
I'm
really
sad.
Aftab
Shivdasani:
Sad
to
know
the
verdict
on
Sanjay
Dutt,
my
heart
goes
out
to
him
and
his
family.
He
was
a
fighter,
is
one
and
will
always
be
one.
Dabboo
Ratnani:
Shattered
to
hear
about
Sanjay
Dutt.
Love
him.
He
is
like
my
elder
brother
and
has
a
pure
heart
of
gold.
God
give
him
strength.
Celina
Jaitly:
I
am
shocked
to
hear
the
verdict
on
Mr.
Dutt.
My
heart
goes
out
to
the
Dutt
family.
We
all
love
you
Mr
Dutt.
