Shah Rukh Khan's 1 am visit to Sanjay Dutt home
Every actor in B-Town visited Sanjay Dutt after the news of his impending arrest became public. TV cameras and paparazzi parked outside the Dutt residence captured every actor who came to meet Sanjay. Salman Khan who wasn’t in the country too made it a point to meet Sanju baba on the same morning that he landed in Mumbai. The only actor who was not seen at the Dutt residence to was Shah Rukh Khan, who was away shooting in Wai for his home production.
Most people assumed that SRK was too busy with the IPL and his film to worry about Sanjay. But that’s far from the truth. It is learnt that SRK has been in touch with Sanju ever since he heard about the actor’s jail sentence.
An insider says, “When the news of Sanju’s sentence came out, Shah Rukh was one of the first people to call him. He had a long conversation with Sanju. Shah Rukh didn’t want to show up at his home when the media was parked outside his gate. SRK is giving Sanju all the moral and emotional support he needs. On Thursday night, SRK went to meet Sanju at around 1 am, and he stayed for a couple of hours. It was an intense and emotional conversation. SRK also talked to Manaayata and played with the couple’s twins.”
It may be recalled that up until SRK’s home production Ra.One, Sanju and he hadn’t worked together. After Sanjay’s cameo in Shah Rukh’s film, they became close. While Sanju didn’t accept any fee for the role, Shah Rukh gifted him a expensive bike to thank him for being part of the film. Since then, they have been to each other’s homes for dinners. At Sanju’s success party of Agneepath last year, where the infamous fight between Shah Rukh and Shirish Kunder broke out, Sanju had rushed to SRK’s rescue when he heard that someone was beating him up. Then he escorted him to his car.
