The aged thespian said that a 62-year-old woman fan was bequeathing her entire estate, worth a massive 72 crores, to none other than him. The values of his character and morale could tell a lot about what he did with the money he received as an inheritance.
Although fans showering love and admiration on their favorite celebrities is not a new phenomenon, what made this one special, besides the monetary value associated with it, is the personal and altruistic move that Sanjay Dutt took thereafter.
Unbelievable Action of a Fan
The case goes back to 2018: a homemaker, Nisha Patil of Mumbai, lost her life. She was a die-hard fan of Sanjay Dutt, and in a bizarre scenario, in an emotional mood, she had decided to leave her entire property to him, which amounted to 72 crore.
According to the report, Nisha Patil was fighting a fatal illness in the final stage. Since she knew that she was going to die soon, she called her bank to transfer all her property to Sanjay Dutt once she died. This involved the ownership of various properties, investments, and other high-value holdings.
The news was then brought forth in media circles, but was dismissed as just a rumour by many people because it was considered a false story. But now Sanjay Dutt has come out of his shell, and he has confirmed the incident publicly.
Sanjay Dutt clarifies the Report
One of the questions Sanjay Dutt was asked in a recent interview with Curly Tales was whether the rumor about the woman leaving him her 72 crores fortune was a reality. Instantly, he answered me, “It is true.”
Replying to their question on what he could have done with the immense wealth, Dutt responded in a way that moved everybody. He revealed how he returned it to the family.
It is such an elegant, simple yet strong reply that has touched many fans as well as casual viewers. When celebrities are mostly scolded in being out of touch with the real world, the outspoken and humanitarian move of Sanjay Dutt has brought some people into believing that there is hope in the entertainment industry after all.
The Moral Stand: Give back the Property
In giving back the inheritance to the family of Nisha Patil, Sanjay Dutt has not only depicted amazing integrity but also admiration of family. Although he had a legal right to own the assets per the will of the deceased, he decided to do this based on moral code and not on economic advantage.
His episode is an indication of a more profound knowledge about the legacies of emotions. It is not about gaining something valuable, but getting to know about the consequences and valuing the life that used to have those things.
‘What Sanjay Dutt has done when he voluntarily decided to give back the property depicts the modesty and the gentlemanly air that is normally vetted out in the glitzy mask of the fashion industry.
Fan Devotion in Bollywood: It Is Not a Single Case
There has always been a special relationship between fans and stars in Bollywood. The same can be said of the number of stories of lovers who worship their beloved with cards, paintings, tattoos, and even the visits of pilgrimages to the home of the celebrity they love.
Little wonder that even Shah Rukh Khan, the King of Romance, once described a funny fan tale. In the interview, conducted years ago, he remembered an episode when he had a fan who broke into his bungalow, Mannat, and did away with his clothes and plunged into the swimming pool, saying, I just wanted to swim in the pool of Shah Rukh Khan. The fan did not ask for pictures or autographs; he just wanted the experience. Khan embraced the fan and referred to the incident as humorous and weirdly adorable.
These incidents are effective eye-openers regarding the level of attachment that Indian audiences tend to have with their movie stars.

A born baby of the illustrious Dutt family, composed of great legends, including Sunil Dutt and Nargis, he entered the film industry in 1981 with Rocky. He drew attention since the inception of his career through charm and sheer vitality.
It was after this that Sanjay continued to bring to the audiences a telling series of hit movies such as Vidhaata, Naam, Khal Nayak, Vaastav, Saajan, and the popular Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. and Lage Raho Munna Bhai during his years. These movies made him a strong and dominant actor in the film industry.
Nevertheless, there were turbulent moments in his career.
