New Delhi, June 1 (IANS) Remembering his mother Nargis Dutt on her birth anniversary, Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt says he misses her even 29 years after her death.

Born as Fatima Rashid, Nargis made her screen debut as a child artist with 'Talash-E-Haq' in 1935 and 'Tamanna' (1942) was her first film as a full-fledged actress.
