Sanjay Dutt is undoubtedly one of the powerhouse of talents in Bollywood. The dashing actor with a perfectly enviable physique and humble nature has been mesmerising audiences with his terrific acting mettle, and has made his fans always desire for more. In his exemplary acting career over decades, he has served some of the iconic blockbuster hits, including Rocky, Khalnayak, Vaastav: The Reality, Sadak, Saajan among others. Recently, one of his films, Khalnayak clocked 30 years of its release, and on the special occasion, the entire cast and crew of the film met for a celebration. During the same, Sanjay Dutt revealed a hilarious anecdote from the shooting of the film.
While speaking at the celebratory event of the film, Khalnayak turning 30 years, Sanjay Dutt shared an unheard and rather funny anecdote from his memories of shooting a particular sequence in the film. Sanjay mentioned that for the iconic song, Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai, the filmmaker, Subhash Ghai asked him to wear a ghaghra for the scene, which made him shocked. In his words:
“I have very fond memories of this film, which has a fantastic cast. The madness of Balu’s character was not me but Subhash ji. When I came on the set wearing the costume of Ballu, Subhash ji said make him wear ghagra-choli. I was shocked and asked him, sir, kya kar rahe ho? He was like, ‘Nahi tu pehen kar aa. Tu choli ke peeche kar raha hai.”

In one of his previous interviews with GoodTimes, Sanjay Dutt shared his take on whether he would love to romance younger actresses on-screen, in comparison with most other colleagues of him within the same age group, who do the same. In his response, Sanjay Dutt promptly answered that due to his age gap, he could not romance any young actress like Alia Bhatt. In his words:
“Arey ab thodi main Alia Bhatt ke sath romance karunga. Ya so I mean it's like that, you got to move on.”
During the promotional interviews for his film, Panipat, Sanjay Dutt reacted to his once-claimed rumour of having 308 girlfriends in his lifetime. Adding more onto it, he mentioned that since he was totally impressed with his co-star, Kriti Sanon’s performance, he could perhaps make her his next girlfriend.

In one of his earlier interactions with Masala, Sanjay Dutt revealed that he has always been a determined actor, when it came to playing characters of his age on-screen. He shared that he has no objection to ageing in films, since he feels that the audience will accept him more that way. In his words:
“Yeah, that’s the way I am. One has to accept one isn’t 21 any longer. Audiences certainly don’t want to see me as a college kid on motorcycles and all that stuff.”
