Sanjay Dutt has candidly described his struggle with drug addiction as a harrowing and transformative period in his life. He described moments where he "saw himself dying" due to the severity of his drug dependence, which began partly due to his shy nature and desire for attention from women, as well as a misguided attempt to appear "cool" [1][2][4]. During his addiction, he was so lost that he once smuggled 1 kg of heroin on a flight with his sisters unaware, highlighting the dangerous depths of his addiction [4]. His addiction spanned nearly a decade, during which he isolated himself, avoided work, and was derogatorily labeled by the public. This led him to a turning point where he realized he needed help and sought support from family and rehabilitation, eventually overcoming the addiction [2][7][10]. He also emphasized that drug addiction should not be treated as a taboo but as a disease needing acceptance, support, and treatment [10]. Sanjay Dutt's battle with drugs happened simultaneously with very challenging personal events, including his mother's cancer battle, making the period even more painful [4]. Post-recovery, he has urged youth to stay away from drugs, encouraging them to get "high on life" instead and stresses the importance of family support in recovery [10]. This struggle and transformation have been publicly acknowledged and will be portrayed in a biopic starring Ranbir Kapoor, further spotlighting his battles and ultimate resilience [4]. Overall, his story is one of intense struggle, personal loss, public stigma, and eventual recovery supported by family and determination to come out stronger.
