| Sanjay Dutt visits house where mother Nargis was born  Actor-turned-politician Sanjay Dutt turned emotional Sunday after
visiting a nearly century-old building in Kolkata where his mother,
legendary actress Nargis, was born.The dilapidated building on
8 Indian Mirror Street, saw a large crowd since early morning on Sunday
(April 26) as news leaked out about Dutt's impending arrival. Accompanied
by Samajwadi Party general secretary Amar Singh and encircled by his
private security guards, Dutt arrived in a bullet-proof car to cries of
"Munnnabhai zindabad" and "Sanjay Dutt Zindabad". He was immediately
taken into the house, whose residents were eagerly waiting. Dutt
was taken to the room where Nargis was believed to have been born in
1929 to a muslim mother – Allahabad-based singer Jaddanbai, and a Hindu
father – Rawalpindi-based Uttamchand Mohanchand. Sanjay spent about ten minutes in the room all alone, and seemed overcome by nostalgia when he came out. "It's
a very emotional moment for me. Thanks to Amar Singhji, that he found
the house," said the actor - affectionately called Sanju baba. "I
was in the room alone for 10 minutes remembering my mother. Thanks to
Kolkata and the people of Kolkata," he said, before leaving the spot. He later left for Nalhati in Birbhum to address an election meeting. |
