Controversy's favourite child: In an interview to Simi Garewal some time back, actor Sanjay Dutt had said that he does not remember any phase in his life where there were no problems. From drugs to alleged connection with the underworld to court cases, Sanjay Dutt's life has been mired with controversies. Hailing from a blue blood family of the film industry- the son of superstars Sunil Dutt and Nargis - Sanjay Dutt is known more for his controversies than his career. Let us take a recap at some of the controversies related to the actor reports the Times of India.

Drunk MMS clip: Sanjay Dutt, who has been criticised for misusing his star status to get repeated parole and parole extension, has been slammed after a lengthy MMS clip featuring the actor in high spirits and talking about his colleagues from the film industry has been leaked. It is said that the actor partied and even conducted business while he was out on parole on the pretext of personal medical grounds and later his wife Maanyata's poor health. The Bombay High Court questioned the parole extension for the actor as he was out from December 21 last year to March 21 this year.

Drug abuse: It is said that when Sanjay Dutt was young he found it difficult to handle the pressure of being the son of superstar couple- Sunil Dutt and Nargis. It is said the actor started taking drugs when he was just in high school. And when his mother died, shortly before the release of his first film in 1981, his problem worsened. Also when the actor spent five months in prison in late 1982 after being caught in possession of illegal substances, he became depressed and allegedly started taking drugs. Upon his release he spent two years in the United States, the majority of which was spent in a Texas rehab clinic, before returning to India and resuming his career. The actor also was in the news due to a bitter custody battle he was fighting with his late wife Richa Sharma's family for daughter Trishala. However, he lost the case.


Affair with Madhuri Dixit: Sanjay Dutt's affair with the gorgeous actress Madhuri Dixit came under the scanner as he was already married to Richa Sharma. The two were working together in several films and were very charmed with each other. It is said their fondness for each other grew on the sets of Saajan. However, Madhuri's father was against this relationship as Sanjay was already married to Richa Sharma. Richa was battling cancer in the US and Madhuri lent Sanjay a friendly shoulder during this difficult time. They would often spend hours with each other. However, as per rumours, the gorgeous actress dumped him when Sanjay was arrested in connection with the 1993 Mumbai blasts.

Illegal possession of arms: Just as Sanjay Dutt had began to move on in his life after his first wife's passing away, a series of bomb attacks rocked Mumbai in 1993 and killed 257 people. The actor was found in possession of illegal weapons. The arms were allegedly part of the main consignment used in the blasts. Though Dutt was cleared of all conspiracy charges related to the blast, he was sentenced to six years in jail by a TADA court in July 2007. He was found guilty of illegally keeping arms, including an AK-56 rifle. The Supreme Court had handed a five-year jail sentence to actor. The actor was convicted under the Arms Act while he escaped conviction under the stricter TADA.

The underworld connection: If this was not enough trouble for the actor, Sanjay Dutt was investigated for alleged money-laundering deals between the Mumbai underworld and Bollywood. An audio tape of an alleged conversation between the actor and Chhota Shakeel, the Bombay underworld don, found a lot of mention in the media in 2001. Apart from speaking about a co-star's punctuality issues, nothing substantial could be deciphered from the tape. Chhota Shakeel, one of the most dreaded dons of the Mumbai underworld, has been accused of kidnapping, extortion and murder.
