Sanjay
Dutt
is
on
cloud
nine
after
the
success
of
his
biopic
Sanju,
which
revolves
around
the
turbulent
life
of
the
actor.
In
a
recent
interview
with
India
Today,
he
talked
about
his
drug
addiction,
lessons
he
learnt
from
his
parents
and
his
kids.
He
also
revealed
how
he
diverted
his
attention
after
he
decided
to
quit
drugs,
"Drug
addiction
is
a
disease
which
cannot
be
cured.
Today,
if
I
think
I
can
smoke
up
a
joint,
I'm
finished.
The
fear
of
relapse
is
in
the
first
five-six
months
of
quitting.
I
diverted
my
mind
in
the
gym.
I
started
feeling
good
with
my
body."
When
asked
about
taking
steroids,
he
said,
"In
those
days,
there
was
nothing
called
steroids.
It
was
everything
on
a
diet
and
normal.
Then
came
the
protein
powders
and
now
it's
steroids.
I
had
to
clear
my
image.
People
used
to
think
I
was
on
drugs.
So
people
started
saying
that
he
has
a
good
body
-
and
that
can't
happen
when
the
person
is
on
drugs.''
Sanjay
also
said
that
it's
not
easy
to
be
a
star
kid,
''It
is
not
only
for
me.
It
is
for
any
actor's
son.
Difficult
for
me
to
a
certain
point.
I
knew
I
had
to
break
that
image
-
of
being
Mr
and
Mrs
Dutt's
son.
For
being
Sanjay
Dutt
and
them
as
my
parents.
That
made
my
father
proud.
I'm
proud
that
they
were
proud.
I
am
a
wonderful
human
being
any
way.
The
pressure
was
the
old-school
pressure.
What
he
became
was
on
his
own.
He
did
not
say
'Beta
achha
kia
hai'
very
often.
That
was
the
pressure
for
me.''
Talking
about
his
mother's
illness,
he
said,
''There
was
a
lot
of
pressure
when
my
mother
fell
ill.
My
[first]
movie
was
on
the
verge
of
release,
and
she
was
in
coma.
I
was
very
young.
I
just
couldn't
understand
why
I
had
to
leave
my
mother
and
go
to
the
film
set.
I
couldn't
forgive
myself
for
many
years.
It
was
a
lesson
learnt.
I
wanted
the
younger
generation
to
know
that
that
was
what
drugs
could
do
to
you.
Your
body
demands
smoking
up.''
He
further
added,
''My
mother
used
to
say
that
the
most
important
thing
is
to
be
a
good
human
being.
Everything
else
comes
after
that.
I
learnt
that
from
both
my
father
and
mother.
I'm
passing
on
to
my
kids.''
''I
hope
my
wife
doesn't
pamper
my
children
the
way
my
mother
did
me.
My
wife
tells
me
if
the
kids
don't
hate
the
parents
when
they
are
growing
up,
there
is
something
wrong
in
their
parenting.
I
am
tough
to
my
children
when
I
want
to
be
tough.
I've
tried
to
show
my
kids
my
life.
Whether
it
is
doing
drugs
and
how
it
built
up
into
something
huge...
I
also
tried
to
show
them
that
when
this
Sanjay
Dutt
comes
back
from
the
rehab
in
America,
that
friend
is
still
standing
there.
I
tell
kids
to
stay
high
on
life,
stay
high
on
work,
in
the
gym,'' he
concluded.
