Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt has faced many hardships in his life. He had to spend time in jail due to the 1993 Mumbai blasts case, which was a very difficult period for him.
The actor was sentenced to five years in prison. He was granted bail several times during his sentence, which is why he only completed his five-year jail sentence in 2016. Recently, Dutt recalled his time in jail during an appearance on The Great Indian Kapil Show.

After this, Archana Puran Singh asked Sanjay Dutt what happened to the furniture he had made in jail. In response to her question, Sanjay Dutt recalled his days in prison. He said, “I earned money there. Whether I made chairs or paper bags, I was paid for it. Then I also started the YCP radio station, which runs only inside the jail. I got paid for that too. I hosted radio programs – we had different topics to talk about, and we also did comedy. Three or four inmates used to write the scripts for the programs.”
Sanjay Dutt lived with a double murder convict
Sanjay Dutt further said that he had started a theatre group in jail. He mentioned that he was the director, and his actors were murder convicts. Sanjay Dutt also recalled an incident that happened in prison. He said, “I remember I had a full beard, and the superintendent asked me to shave it. He sent a man named Mishra ji. As soon as Mishra ji took out his razor, I asked him how many years he had been in jail. He told me he had been there for 15 years.”
Sanjay Dutt said that when the razor reached his neck, he asked the man what crime he was in jail for. The man told him that he was guilty of double murder. As soon as Sanjay Dutt heard this, he immediately caught his hand and stopped him. Sanjay Dutt said, “So, a razor in the hand of a double murder convict is just a normal day in jail.”
