Film trade journalist, Komal Nahta tweeted late night on Tuesday that the beloved Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt is diagnosed with Lung Cancer. He tweeted, “Not the new dreaded ‘C’ (coronavirus), it’s the other dreaded ‘C’, cancer, that Sanjay Dutt has been diagnosed with.” He will leave for US for treatment along with family and close friends.  Reportedly, the actor is battling Stage 3 Lung Cancer. 

While the actor himself tweeted, “Hi friends, I am taking a short break from work for some medical treatment. My family and friends are with me and I urge my well- wishers not to worry or unnecessarily speculate. With your love and good wishes, I will be back soon!” 

On August 08, Sanjay Dutt was admitted to a hospital on complaints of breathlessness. His Covid-19 test result came out negative. The actor was then discharged from the hospital after a day.

While on the work front, he will be seen next in ‘KGF: Chapter 2’.
