Actor Sanjay Dutt recalls events from the final days of his mother, actress Nargis, when she is described as being in a coma due to pancreatic cancer. Dutt says he was about 19 or 20 and found it difficult to understand what was happening as he watched her prolonged illness and treatment, including time spent abroad. He also recounts that his father, Sunil Dutt, sent him back to complete Dutt’s debut film, a decision he characterizes as part of the disciplined approach his parents maintained. Dutt believes Nargis waited to return home before she died, and he describes the period as traumatic. In discussing his father’s role, he credits Sunil Dutt with instilling values and guiding him through challenging circumstances. Across the accounts, both sources focus on Dutt’s recollections of his mother’s condition, his age at the time, and his father’s decision to have him continue with his film commitments while she was critically ill.
