Looking back: Abhishek Bachchan shares that Sanjay Dutt sleeps sitting up due to a heartbreaking reason, as revealed by the Munna Bhai MBBS actor
Abhishek Bachchan, known for his role in Ghoomer in 2023, has a lineup of upcoming films including Be Happy, Housefull 5, and an untitled project by Shoojit Sircar. Abhishek has a close relationship with actors in the film industry, with Sanjay Dutt being one of them. Abhishek once shared that Sanjay has a habit of sleeping in a sitting position, which he attributed to a difficult time in jail.
During an episode of Yaaron Ki Baraat, Abhishek revealed that Sanjay Dutt always sleeps sitting up with pillows behind his back. Sanjay explained that this habit developed during his time in jail due to flooding in the cell, forcing him to sleep in water up to his thighs.
Sanjay Dutt spent five years in prison after being arrested under the TADA and Arms Act in 1993. He was later convicted for possessing illegal weapons in the 1993 Bombay blasts. Sanjay was released from jail in 2016.
In the 2018 biopic Sanju, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, Ranbir Kapoor portrayed Sanjay Dutt’s life. Abhishek Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt have worked together in films like LOC Kargil, Rakht, Dus, and Shoutout at Lokhandwala, and will be seen together in Housefull 5 directed by Tarun Mansukhani.
Housefull 5, the fifth installment of the Housefull franchise, will hit theaters on June 6, 2025. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, the comedy caper promises to be a fun-filled ride.
