Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt has been diagnosed with lung cancer. According to sources, he’ll fly to the US on Wednesday for treatment.
Sanjay Dutt (61) took to social media on Tuesday and announced a short break from work. “Hi, friends. I am taking a short break from work for some medical treatment. My family and friends are with me and I urge my well-wishers not to worry or unnecessarily speculate. With your love and good wishes, I will be back soon,” he informed.
Sanjay Dutt was admitted to Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai last weekend after he experienced breathing problems and chest pain. He tested negative for COVID-19. However, his oxygen levels fluctuated between 90 and 92 per cent and he developed fluid in his chest. He was discharged from hospital on Monday.
Sanjay Dutt has a family history of cancer. His mother, Nargis Dutt, died of pancreatic cancer in 1981.
The Munnabhai MBBS actor starred in three films released last year: Prassthanam, Panipat and Kalank. In 1981, Sanjay Dutt acted in Rocky, which was released by his father, Sunil Dutt. His upcoming movies include KGF: Chapter 2, Shamshera and Sadak 2, which is a sequel to 1991 movie Sadak.
