Did you know actor Sanjay Dutt, the son of the late actor Sunil Dutt, ended up stopping a performance of legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar midway? Yes, you read it right! During a throwback episode of the chat show "Jeena Isi Ka Naam Hai", Dutt sahab revealed that when they went to Bangladesh during the 1971 war, along with Lata ji, Sanjay insisted on accompanying them. When Dutt sahab told him that he could not go as all the artists were going on the tour, and would have to play something in order to go, Sanjay said that he would play the bongos. When Late ji finally came on the stage to perform in Bangladesh, she had to stop in between the song as the bongo was playing incorrectly.
Upset, when Lata ji looked back to see who was at fault, she saw little Sanjay and said gracefully, "Keep on playing". Coming back to the more recent update, on Thursday, Sanjay shared a special message for the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) on its 100th anniversary. Taking to his X (formerly known as Twitter) handle, he shared a clip of himself expressing his views about the organisation.
