Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff honored the late legendary actor and politician Sunil Dutt on what would have been his 97th birthday. Sharing vintage photos of Sunil Dutt on social media, Jackie fondly remembered him. The tribute included the iconic song ‘Yeh Wadiyan Yeh Fizayen Bula Rahi Hain Tumhe’ from the movie ‘Aaj Aur Kal’, where Sunil Dutt starred alongside Nanda.
Sunil Dutt, born on June 6, 1929, began his journey as a respected figure in Indian cinema. His breakthrough came with the film ‘Mother India’, where he played Nargis’s son Birju. This film became a milestone in Indian cinema and was India’s first submission to the Academy Awards. Sunil Dutt’s personal life intertwined with his professional success, as his on-screen heroism led to a real-life romance with Nargis.
Sunil Dutt’s legacy extended beyond the silver screen. After Nargis’s passing, he delved into public service and politics, leaving a mark as a Member of Parliament. Known for his humanitarian efforts, Sunil Dutt’s final film appearance was in ‘Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.’ alongside his son Sanjay Dutt. His remarkable journey ended on May 25, 2005, in Mumbai, at the age of 75.
