Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt sent his greetings to former Pakistan cricket team captain Javed Miandad on Wednesday. In a video posted on social media by UAE-based businessman Oman Khan, Sanjay Dutt can be heard sending his greetings to Miandad, showing his wish to meet the him again. The video has received mixed reactions from the fans. Due to the enmity and spoiled political relations between the two countries, the meeting of these two celebrities from India and Pakistan has not been wholly accepted. Looking at the video, one understands that Sanjay and Miandad seem to go a long way as friends.

What fans, especially from India, don’t like is that Sanjay has been allegedly involved in the Mumbai Blast in 1993. The actor was arrested for keeping guns under the TADA act. He was convicted for violation of Arms Act for posession of illegal weapons. These arms were procured from accused in the bombings of 1993.
