When actor Sanjay Dutt walked into the consultation room of his oncologist, Dr Sewanti Limaye, in 2020 — a week after he had been diagnosed with advanced lung cancer — he had made up his mind to brace up, not wilt. Sanjay Dutt revealed on a podcast that his cancer diagnosis was the most challenging moment of his life, an emotional storm far exceeding his other dramatic highs and lows. For Sanjay Dutt, a Bollywood icon known for his grit both on and off the screen, that moment came in August 2020. Diagnosed with lung cancer, his journey from shock to triumph is a tale of resilience, hope, and the human spirit’s refusal to back down. Bollywood superstar Sanjay Dutt recently opened up about his cancer journey. In August 2020, the 'Munna Bhai MBBS' star was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. Months later, he announced that he was cancer-free. When the 63-year-old first found out he had the Big C, he revealed that he was all alone in the hospital.
