Sanjay Dutt remembers mother Nargis: Wish I had spent more time with her
Mumbai– Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt got nostalgic as he went down memory lane, remembering his late mother and legendary actress Nargis, and shared how she would ask him to spend more time with her.
Sanjay appeared in the weekend episode of the singing reality show ‘Indian Idol Season 14’. The special episode is titled ‘Celebrating Sanjay Dutt’.
The actor shares interesting trivia from his time in the entertainment industry, along with memories of his parents making for an intriguing episode.
But it was contestant Ananya Pal, from Kolkata, whose voice is termed as ‘Misthi Dhoi’, and she won everyone’s heart yet again with her beautiful rendition of the songs, ‘Tu Shayar Hai Main Teri Shayari’ from the 1991 movie ‘Saajan’, ‘Roz Roz Aankhon Tale’ from 1986 movie ‘Jeeva’ and ‘Aisa Sama Na Hota’ from the 1984 movie ‘Zameen Aasmaan’.
Impressed with her performance, Sanjay, who played an anonymous poet in the movie ‘Saajan’, complimented Ananya in a ‘Shayari’ style, saying, “Dil karta hai ki sunta hi jau, aisi pyaari aapki aawaz hai.”
After her performance, judge Shreya Ghoshal requested Sanjay to elaborate on the equation he shared with his father, late Sunil Dutt. He said: “I can only say that sometimes we take our parents for granted, assuming that they will always be there for us. But there was something that my mother had told me that comes to my mind now.”
“She used to tell me to spend time with her, to sit with her, because she didn’t know when she would leave, and I would regret not having spent enough time together. Now, I feel that if I had listened to her and spent a few hours with her during the day, maybe today I wouldn’t have this feeling,” added the ‘Agneepath’ actor.
Soha Ali Khan remembers ‘Abba’ Tiger Pataudi on birth anniv; visits his favorite place MCG
Mumbai– Actress Soha Ali Khan, along with her husband Kunal Kemmu and daughter Inaaya visited the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), on the 82nd birth anniversary of her father and former Indian cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi.
Paying a rich tribute to her father, Soha visited one of her Abba’s favourite places to play, that is — MCG, and penned a heartwarming birthday wish.
Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi also known as Tiger Pataudi was appointed India’s cricket captain at the age of 21. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium pace bowler
Soha took to her Instagram handle, where she enjoys 3.7 million followers, and dropped a string of family pictures wherein she can be seen wearing a blue crop top, and paired it with white pants. Kunal opted for a black sweater and matching cargo pants.
The ‘Rang De Basanti’ actress also shared a throwback picture of her father playing cricket at MCG. The last photo is a childhood photo of Soha playing with her dad.
The post had a geo tag of Melbourne Cricket Ground.
It was captioned as: “It seemed only fitting to remember and celebrate Abba on his birthday today by visiting one of his favourite places to play – The Melbourne Cricket Ground. He scored many test hundreds but many consider his finest innings, as good as any century, to be the 75 at the MCG in 1967-68.”
“India was 25 for 5 when he came in to bat and he needed a runner because of a pulled hamstring – he couldn’t play his usual front-foot shots and hooked his way up to India totalling 162… his 75 that day made it to No. 14 in Wisden Asia Cricket’s list of the top 25 Indian test innings – “An innings played with one leg and one eye”. Happy birthday Abba @mcg,” the post added.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Soha was last seen as Saiba in the web series ‘Hush Hush’. She next has ‘Chhorii 2’ in the pipeline. (IANS)
