Sanjay Dutt was first hospitalised in August this year after complaining of breathing issues. The actor stayed in the hospital for two days and later, he revealed that he is taking a sabbatical from work for medical treatment. However, Sanjay Dutt didn't reveal about his ailment.

Ahead of his initial treatment, Maanayata issued a statement to update about the actor's health but refrained from speaking about the cancer diagnosis.   

However, trade analyst and film industry insider Komal Nahta subsequently confirmed that Dutt has been diagnosed with lung cancer. "Sanjay Dutt diagnosed with lung cancer. Let's pray for his speedy recovery," tweeted Nahta on his official Twitter account on August 11.

Dutt's wife Maanayata and the kids were in Dubai during lockdown but she flew down to Mumbai alone a while back after Sanjay's illness. The couple recently returned to Dubai to be with their children. 

Recently, a picture of Sanjay Dutt from what appeared to be a hospital in Dubai had left fans worried about his health a couple of weeks ago. It was widely shared on social media. Dutt looked visibly weaker in it and that raised concerns over his health.

Here's wishing him a healthy recovery!
