Sanjay Dutt's health in danger!

By Subhash K Jha

The long court procedure and family disputes regarding the latest woman in Sanjay Dutt's life, have taken their toll on Sanjay Dutt's health.

The actor who suffered an almost-complete lung collapse three decades ago, is apparently on the verge of a health hazard now.

A very close friends reveals that a serious back problem has put Dutt into a state of acute pain. "Two of the bones in his vertebrae have collapsed suddenly. Sanju had to have them attended to immediately.

Now he needs to go for physiotherapy every afternoon to Nanavati hospital which is a good forty-five minutes away from his home…. That's some more pressure on Sanju's already-awry schedules and also on his troubled health.

That isn't the end of his troubles. To add to his timetable pressures, Sanju is shooting nights for Indra Kumar's Dhamaal. He isn't getting enough sleep. And we're all very worried about his health. He gets up tired and goes through his chaotic routine and pretends to be funny during nights. It isn't healthy. "

In brief…more grief. Acccording to close friends the court's verdict on his bomb-blast case is no longer the only major headache in Dutt's existence.

"But yes, Sanju feels stories about him buying a new Ferrari when the car has been in his garage for two years, aren't helping his cause. The news item had really stressed him out. We had to ask him to calm down.

The worst blow was when a section of the media wrote about another bomb accused geeting a sentence of rigourous -imprisonment. Sanju felt these reports were unfairly comparing his case to the convicted man's case.

He thought the media's implied contention that Sanju too should get just as harsh a sentence was too harsh on him. We agree. Sanju has suffered enough. And he needs to settle down in life."

Matters at home aren't making Dutt's life any easier. His family is sharply aligned against his lady- love Manyata.

"Sanju can't bear to see his sisters upset. But he won't give up Manyata," says the friend. "We're really worried about Sanju's stress level. Anything can happen."
