A father of three, the real-life Sanjay says the court battle definitely transformed him as a person. “The time I spent in jail made me realize a lot of things. It broke my ego,” Sanjay said. It was in February 2016 that Sanjay walked out of jail completing his prison-term for illegal possession of arms. Recounting the moment, he said: “The day I was released after the final verdict, it was the happiest moment of my life. I was missing my father (Sunil Dutt). I wish he was alive to see me free… he would have been the happiest person. We should never forget our family, they are the pillar of strength always.”
