Actor Sanjay Dutt has lived a very controversial life. The actor's life is a series of some shocking and unexpected events. In Rajkumar Hirani's upcoming film Sanju, we will get to see the insights of Sanjay Dutt's controversial life. The film stars Ranbir Kapoor in the lead role.
At the peak of his career, the Khalnaayak actor got addicted to drugs. His family had a doubt and even confronted the actor about the same, but Sanjay always denied. Well, in an interview, Dutt revealed that he lied to his family about his drug addiction because he was scared that it will ruin his career.
As reported by Stardust, in an interview years ago, Sanjay Dutt said, "If I consistently insisted that I was not on drugs, it was only because I was scared of the repercussions my confession would have on my career. Maybe my father and my girlfriend didn't think the same way. I lied not only to the industry and the press but even to my own family. It was only when I realized how much tension and problems I was causing at home due to my addiction, did I break down and confess the truth to my father. I needed his help to get out of the mess I was in, I wasn't on hard drugs, but I was quite deep into them. What I started out of sheer curiosity and style became a serious addiction with me. I was pushed into it by a few friends who were using me to satisfy their own cravings because I had the money. One of them became so very pally with me, that he was as close to me as a blood brother. He used to make me buy the stuff every day. The experience I went through was a terrible one. I don't ever want to repeat it. Drugs not only spoilt the peace in my home, but it had even begun to ruin my relationship with my girl. I knew that it had to stop."
The actor added, "It was on the 28th of December last year and I had to really use all my willpower to stick to my resolution. Besides, the after-effects of giving up drugs are terrible. One gets high fever, restlessness, insomnia, loss of appetite, etc. I was prepared to go through anything to save my relationship with my family and Tina. I was quite against the idea of going to Germany, but it was my father who insisted. I didn't want to cancel my shootings and ditch my producers, but Dad was adamant. There, I was given a course of intravenous injections to kind of clean my system. I was told that my liver looked like that of a seventy-five-year-old man. However, the doctor could not guarantee that the treatment would stop me from touching drugs/alcohol forever. It is my willpower which was and still is stronger and more powerful than all those foreign medicines."
