Sanjay Dutt on his battle with cancer: 'It all comes down to willpower and keeping the faith'

Amid the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic in the year 2020, everyone was left shocked and stunned when it was revealed that actor Sanjay Dutt has been diagnosed with lung cancer. However, after undergoing extensive treatment, Sanju Baba emerged victorious in his battle with cancer. Recently, in a conversation with a news portal, the actor opened up on his battle with the disease and stated that he is all fit and fine now. He said, 'By God’s grace and with the support of my family, doctors, and well-wishers, I’m back on my feet and raring to go. I’m glad that’s in the past and I was able to recover fully from that difficult phase. It all comes down to willpower and keeping the faith.' This is not the first time, he opened up on his battle with cancer. Earlier, while undergoing his cancer treatment, in an interview, he stated that his initial reaction to the diagnosis was anger. He also revealed that doctors told him that there was a 50-50 per cent chance. The 'Kalank' actor said that he initially asked ‘why me’ when he first got to know about being diagnosed with cancer. He added, 'When the news was broken, there was a lot of anger inside me and I wondered why me. People take a lot of time to decide how they want to take their treatment further but I had to make a decision quickly because I felt that I didn't have much time. So I accepted my illness and once I did, I thought I'll fight cancer no matter what'. Meanwhile, on the work front, Sanjay Dutt has multiple projects in the pipeline. Last seen in the 2019 film 'Panipat', Sanjay has three big films lined up for release. He will be seen in ‘Shamshera’ co-starring Ranbir Kapoor and ‘Prithiviraj’ co-starring Akshay Kumar.
