A dying fan once left Sanjay Dutt Rs 72 crore property. What the 'overwhelmed' actor did next says everything about him
Sanjay Dutt once inherited Rs 72 crore property from a dying fan. Sanjay Dutt is no stranger to dramatic turns in life—on screen and off. But a story he recently shared might just be one of the most unexpected and moving yet. In a conversation with Curly Tales, the actor revealed that a fan once left him property worth a staggering Rs 72 crore after she passed away in 2018. The fan was Nisha Patil, a 62-year-old housewife from Mumbai battling a terminal illness, according to reports in Times Now. Before her death, she reportedly wrote multiple letters to her bank, willing all her assets to Sanjay Dutt. The actor had no idea about her plans until he was informed by the police after her passing. But instead of accepting the inheritance, Dutt made a quiet, powerful decision. "I gave it back to her family," he said. No hesitation, no fanfare—just a simple, firm response that left many surprised. The news reports claimed that his lawyer confirmed that the actor didn't know Nisha personally and had no intention of claiming the assets, choosing instead to ensure they returned to her family, even if legal processes were needed. Over the years, Sanjay Dutt has built a fiercely loyal fan base that's stood by him through every twist in his journey. From his breakout debut in Rocky to unforgettable performances in Naam, Khal Nayak, Vaastav, and Munna Bhai M.B.B.S., he's carved out a legacy as one of Bollywood's most enduring stars. Dutt's calendar remains packed with upcoming films, including the Telugu sequel Akhanda 2, Aditya Dhar's Dhurandhar starring Ranveer Singh, Prabhas' The RajaSaab, and the Kannada action film KD – The Devil, among others.
