It's
known
to
all
that
during
his
childhood,
Sanjay
Dutt
was
a
spoilt
brat
and
the
credit
goes
to
his
mom,
Nargis
Dutt,
who
gave
up
on
her
filmy
career
to
raise
her
kids-
Sanjay,
Priya
and
Namrata.
We
have
gotten
our
hands
on
a
few
excerpts
of
Namrata
Dutt
in
the
biography
of
the
Kaante
actor,
'Sanjay
Dutt:
The
Crazy
Untold
Story
of
Bollywood's
Bad
Boy',
written
by
Yaseer
Usman.
In
the
biography,
Namrata
was
quoted
as
saying,
"Mom
sometimes
got
angry
with
Sanjay.
She'd
spew
expletives
like
suwar,
ullu,
gadha
and
even
throw
a
chappal
at
him."
The
book
also
quoted
Priya
Dutt
as
saying
that
once,
Nargis
thought
that
Sanjay
was
gay
as
he
used
to
lock
up
himself
with
his
friends.
"Once
I
heard
Mom
say
to
a
friend,
"Why
is
Sanjay's
room
always
locked
when
his
friends
are
there?
What
is
the
big
deal?
I
hope
he's
not
gay."
The
book
also
shed
light
on
how
Nargis
trusted
Sanjay
Dutt
blindly
and
despite
several
hints,
she
refused
to
believe
that
Sanjay
had
become
a
drug
addict.
An
excerpt
from
the
book
read,
"She
trusted
Sanjay
against
the
mounting
evidence
that
he
was
an
addict.
Even
when
well-wishers
tried
to
talk
to
Nargis
about
Sanjay,
her
default
reply
was
'My
son
never
drinks
and
never
touches
drugs.'"
On
May
3,
1981,
Nargis
breathed
her
last.
After
two
years
of
her
death,
Sanjay
got
to
listen
to
her
last
message
for
him,
which
she
recorded
at
her
deathbed
at
a
hospital
in
New
York.
The
audio
had
Nargis
saying,
"More
than
anything,
Sanju,
keep
your
humility.
Keep
your
character.
Never
show
off.
Always
be
humble
and
always
respect
the
elders.
That
is
the
thing
that
is
going
to
take
you
far,
and
that
is
going
to
give
you
strength
in
your
work."
This
audio
changed
Sanjay
Dutt's
life
and
gave
him
strength
to
start
afresh.
