Sanjay Dutt along with sister Priya Dutt and friend Pooja Bhatt attended the Young FICCI Ladies Organisation's event as a special guest. In the session, Sanjay was asked to enlight the young audience with a speech.
Talking in line with the ambience of the event, Sanjay made a few heart-wrenching revelations. Sanjay said, "I was already on drugs when my mother (the late Nargis Dutt) was being treated for cancer. Rocky (his debut film) was being made and I remember that I was so addicted that once I travelled with a kilo heroin hidden in my shoes. My two sisters were also with me on the same flight. At that time, checking at airports was not so strict. Today, when I think about the incident, I get scared. Main pakda jaata toh theek tha, but what about my sisters? Drugs do this to you. You don’t care about family or anything else."
Sanjay was honest about his drug addiction and asked youngsters to never fall for it. Speaking to the young audience, Sanjay opined, "I started taking drugs because main ladkiyon se baat nahi kar pata tha. Somebody told me that if you try this, you will be able to talk to women. So I tried and it worked. What I want to tell youngsters today is that I have gone through a lot because of substance abuse. It is better to be high on life than on any substance. Do good work and get appreciated, there is no better high than that in life."
This not the first time that Sanjay has advised against substance abuse. Well said Sanjay!
