A heartwarming old video of Indian actor Sanjay Dutt has recently resurfaced online, where he opens up about a touching moment with his father, Sunil Dutt.

In the video, Sanjay recalls an emotional incident when his father expressed how much he missed his homeland — Pakistan.

“One night, I returned home from a shoot around 2 am and found my father sitting alone, looking very sad. I assumed he was missing my mother, so I gently asked, ‘What’s wrong, Dad?’ He looked at me and said, ‘Puttar, menu kaar di yaad andi ay yaar’ [son, I miss my home]. I replied, ‘But Dad, this is our home.’ He shook his head and said, ‘You won’t understand… Pakistan is my home. That’s the place I truly miss.’”

He went on to say that what happened during Partition was a harsh memory for both sides.

Sunil Dutt was born as Balraj Dutt on June 6, 1929 in the Nakka Khurd village of Jhelum district, British India – now part of Punjab, Pakistan. He was born into a Punjabi Hindu family that migrated to India after the Partition of 1947.

Dutt later moved to Mumbai, where he became an actor, film producer and politician, adopting the screen name Sunil Dutt to avoid conflicts with another actor named Balraj Sahni.

Sanjay Dutt's most famous works with his father, Sunil Dutt, include Rocky, which was released in 1981, and Rajkumar Hirani’s Munna Bhai M.B.B.S that was released in 2003.
