How Sanjay Dutt Fought Drug Addiction

Sanjay Dutt spoke candidly to Algebra Conversations about his battle with addiction in 2016. Do you a think a woman could talk openly about drugs in our country?

He was lucky to have such a loving father and a privileged family. He had the best treatments and all the support one could have in that condition. Others like him end up dying by the gutter. Well, the good thing is he acknowledges that. Surviving is winning!

More than anything it takes massive courage to talk about your mistakes on such public platform. Great respect for that to Sanjay Dutt.

U must know talent agency use outsiders to lure them into drugs n earn money....they threaten the actress m actor's if they don't listen to them...ex is Kwan agency.....they threaten n make sure they don't get work in future. Also Kwan agency is one of those...so u can understand why shushant, deepika, Perth n others....disha is an from taht agency n I believe there is some connection with the agency m disha n shushant....as shushant, deepika,Rhea, Perth had managers from that agency and they were all outsiders...see every outsider in that agency is into drugs....so there is a deep link of talent agency and luring outsiders into drugs

Exactly! Finally, a sane voice. I just came across this video today. As a psychotherapist/counselor, I have seen my share of drug addicts obviously. From Charas to Heroin & now Fentanyl and more. I completely agree with you. Its a toxic comment quora. I mean, sure, Dutt is open about his past. And although I am hardly a big fan, I can state with some confidence he's NOT on narcotics in this video. A little booze, perhaps. Notice how people are using drugs and narcs as synonyms, @Samten Bhutia! Paracetamol or Ranitidine is a drug. But are they banned? We judge people too fast, especially someone like Dutt who has a very troubled past. Let him be.
