In a stunning revelation that highlights the extreme devotion of Bollywood fans, veteran actor Sanjay Dutt recently recounted an incident where a female admirer left her entire estate to him after her death. The actor, a mainstay of Hindi cinema for decades, shared this incredible story on an old episode of The Great Indian Kapil Show, leaving the host and audience in disbelief.
The Unexpected Phone Call from Police
When host Kapil Sharma brought up the 2018 incident, Dutt confirmed it immediately. He described receiving an unexpected call from a police station, which initially filled him with dread. "I thought, 'What new mess have I landed in now?'" the actor confessed. However, the officers quickly reassured him, stating it was a pleasant surprise.
It was then that Dutt learned the shocking news. A woman, who was a devoted fan, had passed away and named him the sole heir to her property. "I checked it out; she had buildings in South Bombay. The total property must've been worth Rs 150 crore," Dutt revealed, emphasizing the staggering value of the estate.
Sanjay Dutt's Immediate and Principled Refusal
The Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. star was clear about his position from the very beginning. He stated firmly that he did not know the lady personally, though he acknowledged her as a dedicated admirer. For Dutt, accepting such a gift was out of the question. "I don't have any right to her property," he asserted.
His decision was swift and ethical. Dutt chose to return the entire inheritance to the woman's family. "I returned the property to her family, under the condition that it should be used properly. There are all kinds of fans," he added, reflecting on the diverse nature of fan devotion in the film industry.
On the Work Front: From 'Dhurandhar' to a Major 2026 Clash
Separately, Sanjay Dutt continues his successful cinematic journey. He was recently seen in the blockbuster film 'Dhurandhar', directed by Aditya Dhar. The movie boasts an ensemble cast including Ranveer Singh, R. Madhavan, Arjun Rampal, and Sara Arjun.
Looking ahead, the sequel to this film is already slated for a major release. It is set to hit theaters on March 19, 2026. Interestingly, this date will see a box office clash, as the film will release alongside Kannada superstar Yash's much-anticipated movie, 'Toxic: A Fairy Tale for Grown-Ups'.
This story of a massive, refused inheritance underscores not just the intense fandom Bollywood stars command, but also the integrity some choose to uphold when faced with unexpected fortune.
