After having shot for a special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 3 and earned some quick bucks, Sanjay Dutt now intends to donate a generous share to Support, a NGO that rehabilitates drug-using minors. It's a lesser-known fact that the actor who had a drug-induced youth himself is one of the prominent members working for the Santacruz-based organisation and has been actively participating in various programmes for nearly a year.
Talking about his association with the NGO, Dutt says, "I have been in to drugs at a certain point in my life. I'm aware of the ill-effects. Thankfully, I had a very strong support system in my family and I could successfully kick this habit. I can understand the mental state of these addicted kids and there families. I wanted to do something for them and that's when I discovered Support through a common friend. Apart from rehabilitating these kids Support also keeps them occupied with little jobs so that they can divert their minds."
His responsibilities include counselling, visiting shelter homes and mobilising funds for the organisation. "I try and donate whatever I can but apart from that I make it a point to give whatever time I can to go and counsel these kids or I go there whenever I am called there. In fact I want to now go to these streets and convince these kids to come to the rehabilitation centre and try and get out of this habit,"says the actor.
