Sanjay Dutt's Heart of Gold: The Untold Story of the ₹72 Crore Inheritance!

Tuesday Jul 29, 2025

Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt, widely known as 'Sanju Baba' to his legions of fans, has once again showcased his remarkable character. In a recent interview, the actor confirmed a truly astonishing incident from 2018: a 62-year-old female fan, prior to her passing, had willed her entire property, valued at a staggering ₹72 crore, to him. What he did next, however, is winning hearts across the nation.

 

 

The Unbelievable Bequest:

 

The incident, which had circulated as a rumour years ago, was finally confirmed by Sanjay Dutt himself during an interaction with Curly Tales. He was asked directly if it was true that a female fan had left him such a vast fortune. Without hesitation, Dutt affirmed, "It is true."

 

The fan, identified as Nisha Patil, a 62-year-old homemaker from Mumbai, was reportedly battling a terminal illness. Driven by her immense admiration for the actor, she had instructed her bank to transfer all her assets to Sanjay Dutt after her demise. The actor was reportedly informed of this extraordinary gesture by the police after her passing in 2018.

 

 

Dutt's Selfless Act:

 

Faced with an unexpected inheritance of such magnitude, Sanjay Dutt's response was simple yet profoundly impactful. When asked what he did with the ₹72 crore property, he calmly replied, "I gave it back to her family."

 

This act of remarkable integrity and selflessness has garnered widespread praise. Despite the shocking amount, Dutt chose not to claim the fortune, emphasizing that he did not know Nisha Patil personally and was simply overwhelmed by her incredible gesture. His lawyer had also confirmed at the time that Dutt had no intention of accepting the property and would ensure it was returned to Nisha's rightful heirs.

 

 

A Testament to Character:

 

Sanjay Dutt's career, spanning over four decades, has seen its share of highs and lows, both professionally and personally. Yet, through it all, he has maintained a fiercely loyal fan base. This incident further solidifies the deep respect and affection fans hold for him, not just for his on-screen persona but for his genuine humanity.

 

His decision to return the colossal sum underscores his principles and genuine appreciation for his admirers, demonstrating that his values extend beyond material wealth. As he continues his busy schedule with multiple films lined up for release in 2025, including Akhanda 2, Dhurandhar, and The RajaSaab, this heartfelt revelation adds another layer to the enduring legacy of one of Bollywood's most beloved stars.
