“Gift for someone you love” Sanjay Dutt’s best friends Paresh Ghelani and Jay Patel gives best gift ever, promulgate to sponsor Cancer Surgery for the needy patient on 29th July of each year

New Delhi (India), July 28: 29th July is a very special day for me, special because it is my brother Sanjay Dutt’s birthday. Sanju is a man of sheer grit and strength and it is remarkable how this fighter defeated this dreaded disease, his journey is an inspiration to many. Sanju’s fight wouldn’t have turned out the way it has without his sisters Namrata & Priya and wife Manyata and the entire family’s support. Priya Dutt works towards reaching out to needy cancer patients through Nargis Dutt Foundation and has made fabulous progress. Paresh Geelani, my brother, stood as a rock for Sanju at every stage of his life and in this situation of life and death, he left no stone unturned in finding the best possible treatment for Sanju.
