New Delhi, May 25: Sunil Dutt, legendary actor and current Youth and Sports Minister Sunil Dutt died from a heart attack in his home alone in Mumbai.



His son, film star Sanjay is reportedly shooting abroad for a film.

The man who took filmdom by storm in the 60s and 70s and later went on to chart a fabulous career as politician in the Congress Party from Mumbai.

He came to prominence in politics due to his impeccable reputation for honesty and integrity as well as for his social work for the people.

Among Dutt’s most memorable movies was Mother India (1956), and Padosan.

He was married to Nargis, also a famed Bollywood star.

He was born on 6th June, 1929, in village Khurd, (now in Pakistan) in district Jhelum.

After going through a harrowing time in the Partition of the country, being reduced to pauper status, he came to Ambala district, Haryana, where a plot of land was allloted by the government.

However, instead of harbouring hate, he looked pragmatically forward and bore no ill will and in fact tirelessly worked hard for India-Pak friendship.

Haryana, though, could not hold him for long. He came to Mumbai and turned his tale of woe into one of triumph.

His hard work, good looks brought him fame and fortune quickly, becoming a leading man in Bollywood in quick time.

His name was taken in the same breath as those of Dilip Kumar, Ashok Kumar and other legendary actors of his time.

Film star Govinda said he cannot believe that this tragedy has happened. He says it has left him speechless. But he refuised to elaborate saying he will talk to Sanjay before saying anything more.

He said Sunil was a very respected and elderly statesman for Bollywood and India as a whole.
