At a recently held event, Sanjay Dutt spoke about his history with drug abuse. To an audience comprising of mostly young people, Sanjay spoke about a particularly harrowing incident which explains how bad drugs actually are. Here’s what he said –

I was already on drugs when my mother (Nargis Dutt) was being treated for cancer. Rocky was being made and I remember that I was so addicted that once I traveled with a kilo heroin hidden in my shoes. My two sisters were also with me on the same flight. At that time, checking at airports was not so strict. Today, when I think about the incident, I get scared. Main pakda jaata toh theek tha, but what about my sisters? Drugs do this to you. You don’t care about family or anything else.

He also spoke about how he got into drugs in the first place, Sanjay revealed that it was his friends who would encourage him to get high so that he can talk to women easily. But because of this habit, he also went through a lot in his life. His message was to do good work and get appreciated, which is the best kind of high.
