Sanjay Dutt Reveals What He Did With Rs 72 Crore Property That Fan Left Him Before Dying
Sanjay Dutt returned a Rs 72 crore inheritance from fan Nisha Patil to her family.
It's not every day that someone leaves you property worth Rs 72 crore. However, that's exactly what happened to Sanjay Dutt. The actor recently opened up about this unbelievable moment in his life and revealed that he chose to return the entire inheritance to the fan's family.
In a conversation with Curly Tales, Dutt was asked whether it was true that a female fan had bequeathed him the property before passing away in 2018. Confirming the story, he said simply, 'I gave it back to her family."
Back in 2018, a devoted fan of Sanjay Dutt, Nisha Patil, made headlines after she left her entire property, worth a massive Rs 72 crore, to the actor. The unexpected gesture left Dutt stunned. Nisha, a 62-year-old homemaker from Mumbai, was reportedly suffering from a terminal illness and had informed her bank to hand over all her assets to Dutt after her death.
The actor, who made his debut in 1981 with Rocky, has enjoyed a successful, albeit controversial, career in Hindi cinema. Over the decades, Dutt starred in a range of popular films including Vidhaata, Naam, Saajan, Khal Nayak and Vaastav, cementing his place as one of Bollywood's most charismatic actors.
However, his journey was interrupted by legal troubles. He was arrested under the Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act (TADA) for possessing illegal weapons linked to the 1993 Bombay blasts. Though eventually acquitted under TADA, he was convicted under the Arms Act and sentenced to five years in prison. He completed his sentence in 2016 after several paroles and furloughs.
Dutt made a major comeback with the 2003 blockbuster Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., a film that became a cultural phenomenon. His life story was later adapted into the 2018 film Sanju, directed by longtime collaborator Rajkumar Hirani, with Ranbir Kapoor portraying the actor. Sanju went on to become one of Indian cinema's biggest hits.
Currently, Dutt is busy with multiple projects. In 2025 alone, he has five films lined up. The Bhootnii and Housefull 5 have already hit theatres, while Akhanda 2, Dhurandhar, and The RajaSaab are set to release later this year. He is also part of the Kannada film KD – The Devil, which is slated for release in 2026.

Amitabh Bachchan And Rekha's Unseen Pic From Silsila Shoot Resurfaces; Reddit Reacts
Last Updated: A rare throwback photo of Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha from Silsila's Kashmir shoot has gone viral, reigniting discussions about the film's bold casting. A rare, unseen photo of Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha from the sets of Silsila has surfaced online and taken fans on a nostalgic ride. The image, believed to be clicked during the Kashmir schedule of the 1981 romantic drama, shows Amitabh sitting behind the wheel of a vintage car, wearing oversized sunglasses, a woollen coat, and a crisp shirt. Rekha, seated next to him, looks equally elegant in a knit sweater, her gaze direct yet soft, matching the mystique that has always surrounded her public persona. The viral image, shared on Reddit, instantly caught the attention of cinema lovers, not just for its vintage charm but also because it features the two stars during a time that continues to remain one of Bollywood's most talked-about chapters. Directed by Yash Chopra, Silsila brought together Amitabh Bachchan, his real-life wife Jaya Bachchan, and Rekha in a love triangle that mirrored what gossip columns had long speculated. In the film, Amitabh plays a writer named Amit, who marries Shobha (Jaya) under tragic circumstances but cannot forget his former lover Chandni (Rekha), leading to an emotional and moral dilemma. What made Silsila especially bold was not just its subject but its casting. Yash Chopra had revealed in a later interview with Shah Rukh Khan that casting Amitabh, Jaya, and Rekha together was 'one of the most challenging decisions" of his career. He added, 'It was one of the most interesting, one of the biggest, one of the most challenging casts in a film ever done in the history of Indian cinema." Reports at the time suggested that Amitabh had allegedly vowed not to work with Rekha again, making Silsila an unexpected reunion. For fans, the film blurred the lines between real and reel, leaving audiences captivated. Decades later, this rare photo has only added fuel to the enduring curiosity around the trio's off-screen dynamics. While neither Amitabh nor Rekha ever publicly confirmed any romantic involvement, the legacy of Silsila and their chemistry on-screen continue to intrigue generations.
