It's a very hectic time for Sanjay Dutt. After shooting for a full three weeks in the deep-sea waters of Bangkok and Phuket suddenly on Thursday Sanjay Dutt was back in India for a very special purpose. He was back in Bangkok on Friday night.

On Friday afternoon Sanjay met the Olympian boxers from Haryana. A very special meeting was arranged between Dutt and the boxers Vijendra Kumar and Akhil Kumar, who is a selfconfessed Dutt fan.

Speaking from Phuket on the eve of his departure Dutt said, "I'm flying back to Delhi to felicitate the boxers who have done us so proud by winning medals at the Olympics.

I think sports and sportsmen need tremendous encouragement in our country. And the Oylmpics are a big boost to sports, and not just boxing."

Sanjay wants to work towards encouraging sports in our country. "I'm keenly interested in sports and sportspersons in India. Football and cricket are my favourite games.

But I also love all other sports. After our winning in the Olympics I want India to get loads of gold medals at every Olympics. And for this we need to train hard and proper."

Sanjay wants to sponsor and fund promising sportspersons in the country. I sincerely believe we should work toward funding promising athletes in this country. And I'm all for them."
