On 21 October, Sanjay Dutt took to Twitter to announce that he is cancer-free, after being diagnosed with lung cancer in August.
On Twitter, he wrote, "And today, on the occasion of my kids' birthday, I am happy to come out victorious from this battle and be able to give them the best gift I can - the health and well-being of our family."
Dutt also thanked "Dr Sewanti and her team of doctors, nurses and the medical staff at Kokilaben Hospital" for taking good care of him.
In August Sanjay Dutt was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. He was rushed to Lilavati Hospital after complaints of breathlessness where a rapid antigen test for the coronavirus was done. He had tested negative.
Prior to that Dutt announced that he would be taking a break from work. “Hi friends, I am taking a short break from work for medical treatment. My family and friends are with me and I urge my well-wishers not to worry or unnecessarily speculate. With your love and good wishes, I will be back soon!”, he had tweeted.
