Sanjay Dutt says 'wish you were here with me' as he remembers mother Nargis Dutt this Mother's Day
Mumbai, May 10
Actor Sanjay Dutt remembered his late mother Nargis Dutt, this Mother's Day, with a heartfelt post on social media.
The 'Munna Bhai M.B.B.S.' actor took to his official Instagram handle and treated the users with some rare black and white pictures with his mom from his childhood.
"Mumma, I miss you. I wish you were here with me. Your love and blessings are always with me. Love you mom (sic)," Sanjay wrote.
In one of the stills, Sanjay's sisters Priya Dutt and Namrata Dutt also accompanied him as the three gathered around their mother Nargis Dutt in an adorable capture.
Nargis passed away in 1981 after suffering from pancreatic cancer, only three days before Sanjay made his Bollywood debut with "Rocky".
Recently, on her death anniversary, Sanjay's sister Priya penned an emotional note on social media for her 'biggest inspiration', her mother.
Taking to her official X (Formerly known as Twitter) handle, Priya revealed that she has learned several crucial life values from her mother, like compassion, courage, and selflessness.
Priya further shared that it was her mother who showed her what it is like to lead with the heart.
She stated that her mother acted as the guiding force in her life.
Her post on the micro-blogging site read, "Remembering my mother who taught me life's most important values. Her compassion, courage and selflessness weren't just qualities, they were a way of life she passed on to us. Mum showed me what it means to lead with heartand live with dignity."
"Forty-five years have passed since she left us, but her light has always been the loving force guiding my way. My greatest inspiration, always," added Priya.
Both Sanjay and Priya keep on remembering their mother with such nostalgic social media posts, expressing their longing for her.

Beautiful memories. Nargis Dutt was a legend of Indian cinema and clearly raised wonderful children. Priya ji's tribute is equally touching - 'leading with the heart' - that's a lesson we all need.
Mother's Day brings out the best emotions in all of us. That photo of Sanjay with his sisters around Nargis ji is pure gold. I wish more Bollywood stars would share such personal moments - it makes them so much more relatable.
What a lovely post. It’s incredible how Nargis Dutt’s influence still resonates today. I didn’t know she passed just three days before Sanjay’s debut film released—that must have been devastating. The strength of this family is inspiring.
Nargis ji's legacy lives on 🕊️ It's sweet that Sanjay and Priya keep her memory alive like this. But I wish the article focused a bit more on her own achievements beyond being a mother - she was a powerhouse actress who broke so many barriers.
This is so touching. The mother-child bond in Indian families is something special. I love how Sanjay and Priya are so open about their grief and gratitude. It must have been hard for Sanjay to start his career right after losing her.
