Kolkata, April 26 (IANS) Actor-turned-politician Sanjay Dutt turned emotional Sunday after visiting a nearly century-old building where his mother, legendary actress Nargis, was born.
The dilapidated building on 8 Indian Mirror Street, saw a large crowd since early morning Sunday 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 Sanjubaba.
'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.

Lina400- in my opinion Sanju has not lived a life a mother can be proud of, everyone''s opinion varies had my son been a druggie, bedded god knows how many women, was involved in someway in the 93'' blasts, spoke such rude things about his sister in public when they defended him and were by his side through out then YES I would not be a proud mother and in MY OPINION I don''t think Nargis Ji would be proud.
Understandable....He is a human after all...Just because he is an actor, it doesn''t mean he is above emotions...and from what I know, he was very close to his mom as a child and after his mother''s death, ended up being in drugs and all....because, he was that upset.....god bless you Sanjaybhai...
I am sure Nargisji is upthere showering blessings on you just like before...
Sanjay is awesome….ahhh…Nargis would be very proud of Sanjay…the way he has turned his life around…everyone makes mistakes but the important thing is that u learn from them….
yes i agree with simran..
awww so sad nargis was an awesome actress and i agree with simran in a way!
excuse me simran why would she be disappointed , she would rather be very proud of sanju
*sigh* if only Nargis had been alive today; how disappointed she would have been in Sanjay
