Only a mother can understand the tiniest problem of her child and she would go to any extent to get a solution for the same. Such is the power of a mother, who not only bears the labour pain to bring in her child into this world but also makes sure of his/her well-being. From imbibing good values to fulfilling the tiniest demands of her kids, a mother’s role in her child’s life is of utmost importance. It doesn’t matter how big one grows, the love a mother has for her children always remains the same. Bollywood’s action hero, Sanjay Dutt shared a similar bond with his late mother and veteran actress, Nargis.

Nargis was on top of her career when she had left her superstardom for the sake of her kids. Categorised among one of the top notched actresses of the era, Nargis didn’t thought twice to leave her flourishing career to bring up her kids, Priya, Namrata, and Sanjay. Sanjay was very close to his mother as he was the most pampered kid among his siblings. His mother’s untimely death due to pancreatic cancer was a big shock for Sanjay. Nargis ji passed away just three days before her son’s debut film, Rocky.
