Sanjay Dutt's Cousin Sister Zaheeba Says She's So Upset With His Cancer Diagnosis; 'Want Sai To Make Him Well'

The Dutt family has suffered a major jolt. It was recently that Sanjay Dutt got diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer. A few days ago, the Munna Bhai MBBS actor reportedly complained of breathlessness and was admitted to Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai. He underwent COVID-19 test, however, it came out negative. A day after his discharge, he posted on social media that he is taking a break from work for sometime for medical reasons. And then, came the news of his Lung Cancer Diagnosis.

Now, in an interview with Times Of India, veteran actress Zaheeba who also happens to be Dutt's cousin shared her thoughts and said that she is very upset with the news. She was quoted saying, "I am so upset and want Sai to make him well. He just turned 61 on July 29 and now this news. But we have seen him go through so much, so I am sure he will defeat this ailment and come back stronger. Besides, he has a huge responsibility on his shoulder with his young children and an elder daughter around; he has to fulfil his duties towards them."

Zaheeba, praying for his quick recovery, further went on to add, "He was born in front of us and we used to take care of him. He used to be a jovial kid and would keep mimicking people and we would be in splits. But that smile was not there when I saw him on a chat-show with Farooque Shaikh. I would tell him thoda khilkhila ke hanson.. Zindagi ko enjoy karo."
