Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt did not celebrate his 49th birthday as he felt deeply hurt over the killing of innocent people in a series of bomb explosions in Bangalore (Karnataka) and Ahmedabad (Gujarat ) . He says, "I find no reason to celebrate my birthday when a large number of people have been killed in bomb blasts in Bangalore and Ahmedabad." He told this to the media on phone from South Africa. Dutt, who is in Cape Town in connection with a shoot of his film, expressed anguish over reports that Mumbai was on the hit list of terrorists.
Reminding the media about his concept of "Gandhigiri" in his film "Munna Bhai MBBS", the actor said that he was saddened to learn that innocent people have been killed in terror attacks. He added , "My heart pours out for those families which are victims of sinister designs of militants who are hell bent on destroying communal harmony in the country."
The actor has expressed the hope that the authorities would take timely action to thwart the nefarious designs of the ultras. We may recall that Sanjay Dutt had himself been imprisoned on alleged charges of keeping arms without a valid license, during the infamous Mumbai blasts. He was freed from the charge of involvement of riots.
