A female fan left Sanjay Dutt her property worth Rs 72 crore; what he did next will leave you in shock

In a rare and emotional revelation, actor Sanjay Dutt recently shared that a female fan had willed him property worth Rs 72 crore after she died in 2018. But rather than accept the fortune, the actor said simply, “I gave it back to her family.” His response, though brief, took many by surprise. He confirmed the story during a chat with Curly Tales, adding no drama, no fuss, just decency.

Who was this fan?

While Dutt didn’t disclose the woman’s identity, the gesture speaks volumes about her love for him, and even more about his decision. Sanjay Dutt is no stranger to extreme fan devotion, but an entire inheritance is still rare, even in Bollywood.

Why does this moment stand out?

In an industry often caught up in headlines about wealth and fame, this quiet act of returning a Rs 72 crore inheritance hits different. There was no public display, no legal battle, just a decision rooted in gratitude, empathy, and values.

How did Sanjay Dutt rise to stardom?

The son of cinema legends Sunil Dutt and Nargis, Sanjay made his debut in 1981 with Rocky, a film that shot him to instant stardom. His performances in Naam, Khal Nayak, Vaastav, and Munna Bhai MBBS carved his identity as a versatile actor, flawed, fierce, but deeply loved.

Now, in 2025, Sanjay Dutt is in no mood to slow down. He’s already had two big releases, The Bhootnii and Housefull 5, and has three more films lined up: Akhanda 2, Dhurandhar, and The RajaSaab. Among these, Dhurandhar is said to be a December release and possibly one of the year’s most anticipated films.

Sanjay Dutt may have been given a fortune, but his choice to walk away from it is perhaps more powerful than any role he’s ever played on screen.
