Sanjay Dutt has left his fans emotional on Friday, as he posted a throwback picture with his late father Sunil Dutt on Instagram. On the occasion of his father’s death anniversary, Sanjay shared an old black and white picture in which he can be seen sharing a candid moment with his father. What’s more heartbreaking was the caption. He wrote, “Wish you could see me as a free man. Love you... Miss you.”
The post is emotional as much as it is heartbreaking. Sunil Dutt couldn’t watch his son walk as a free man. Sunil Dutt breathed his last on May 25, 2005, a year before Sanjay Dutt completed his jail term in connection with the 1993 Bombay Bomb Blasts case.
This throwback picture has left many Sanjay Dutt and Sunil Dutt fans emotional.
