- AP People gather outside the residence of actor Sanjay Dutt in Mumbai on Thursday.
Actor Sanjay Dutt, who has to spend another three-and-a-half-years in
jail in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts case, on Thursday said he is
“heart broken” and under “emotional distress” after the Supreme Court
verdict.
“I have already suffered for 20 years and been in jail for 18 months. If
they want me to suffer more I have to be strong. I am heart broken
because today along with me, my three children and my wife and my family
will undergo the punishment. I have always respected the judicial
system and will continue to do so, even with tears in my eyes,” he said
in an emotional statement to the media.
With an estimated Rs. 250 crore locked up in films involving the
Bollywood star, he said he would complete all his films and not let
anyone down.
“I am overwhelmed by the support of my fans, the industry people, the
media and all the well wishers. They have always stood by me and
supported me. I know in my heart that I have always been a good human
being, respected the system and always been loyal to my country,” he
said.
Dutt, who confined himself in his 10th floor flat at ‘Imperial Heights’
in suburban Bandra with his family as Bollywood celebrities paid him
visit to express solidarity, said he has to be strong for his family.
“My family is very emotional right now and I have to be strong for them.
I am shattered and in emotional distress. I am sorry I can’t come down
and meet you all. God is great and he will guide me through this,” he
said in the statement.
