In the video, Sanjay Dutt recalled an incident when he woke up in the morning one day and was feeling extremely hungry. So, he asked his servant to cook something for him, but the latter started crying in shock. When Sanjay asked him why he was crying, the servant told him that the actor had woken up after two long days. Revealing how this specific incident left his entire family scared, Sanjay said:
"One day I had taken heroin and went to sleep. I woke up after some time. My servant on seeing me, started crying and said that 'baba you've woken up after two days.' I was shocked. I went and saw myself in the mirror. My face had that drenched look, and I knew it that if I don't stop myself now I will probably die. So I went to dad and told him to save me. He sent me to a well-known hospital and soon after that I was sent to America to a rehabilitation centre."
Sanjay Dutt has always been vocal about his difficult time and revealed how he got involved with drugs to overcome the phase. Earlier, in an interview with YouTuber, Ranveer Allahbadia, Sanjay stated that he was very shy with women. Recalling that he spent ten years of his life locked inside his room or bathroom, the actor shared that when he came back from rehab, people used to call him an addict. In his words:
“I was very shy, especially with women, so I started it to look cool. You do it, and you become a cooler guy with the ladies, you talk to them. Ten years of my life I was in my room, or in the bathroom, and not interested in shoots. But this is what life is, and that’s how everything changed. When I came back from rehab, people used to call me charsi (addict). And I thought, galat hai yeh."
