In 2020, amid the pandemic, Sanjay Dutt was diagnosed with lung cancer and the actor went through extensive treatment in Mumbai. Months later, the ‘Munna Bhai’ actor announced that he was cancer-free.

And today, on the occasion of my kids’ birthday, I am happy to come out victorious from this battle and be able to give them the best gift I can--the health and well-being of our family,” Sanjay Dutt’s emotional note read.
