When Sanjay Dutt revealed of worst treatment in Jail 
In an emotional media interaction Sanjay Dutt opened up over his painful Yerawada Jail experience, denying VIP treatment and detailing his suffering. His emotional.words conveyed deep injustice, showing he endured far more than perceived, learning about law and finding spiritual growth amidst terrible conditions.
In a free, frank fearless chat Sanjay Dutt strongly denied that he received special treatment in jail. He went on to reveal that It’s totally wrong that he received VIP treatment when he was inside the jail. He was even treated worse than any other normal convict in there because everybody felt that he was getting special treatment.” This was a significant revelation, showing the extra burden he carried – the constant scrutiny and the common belief that his fame gave him advantages. He compared his experience to an old injustice, commenting, he felt that he was back in the British days when the culprits used to sit whenever there was the entry of the Superintendent and wait for him to pass.
His daily life in solitary confinement clearly showed his struggles. His day used to start at 6 and as the day passed, he used to crib, cry and remember his family,” giving a glimpse into the lonely hours filled with sadness and longing. However, notwithstanding the hardship, there was a surprising moment of kindness on his release day when jail officials, who had seen his daily difficulties, simply said goodbye with, “Baba we will miss you.”
For Sanjay, freedom wasn’t something he immediately felt; it was a slow process of getting used to life again. “To feel free it will take a little time. It’s not just 5 years in jail but 23 years with the case going on, wherein there were restrictions and permissions to be taken,” he explained, highlighting how the long legal battles before his imprisonment cast a continuous shadow. He talked about his ongoing struggle to “get a grip to feel free again,” admitting that true freedom would need time and self-reflection.
Beyond his personal ordeal, Dutt used the event to confirm his strong patriotism, stating that he could “never have thought of harming the country.” He pointed out an important lesson he learned in jail: “the country’s law.”
Surprisingly, he expressed no regret about being imprisoned, choosing instead to see it as a time of significant personal growth. He added he has come come out a new and learnt a lot there. No regrets of being there. He has taken it in the positive way,” he declared. The physical change he went through – losing 40 kgs from his original 110 kgs – was a clear sign of this transforming experience. More importantly, he spoke of a spiritual awakening: he learnt more about the Hindu religion, Ioves Bholenath Anand, read about him. Where would he have the chance to do all that.”
Perhaps the most vivid detail Sanjay shared was about the extremely poor quality of food in jail. His eating experience was boring and unpleasant. “Food was terrible. He ‘chane ki dal’ for one year and a certain vegetable called ‘Rajgira’ that resembled ‘paalak’ and it’s not edible at all,” he recalled with a frown. The fact that the ‘Rajgira’ was almost impossible to eat was further emphasized by his conversation with another prisoner: “When he asked someone ‘Ye kya hai’, he said that it was ‘Rajgira’. And when asked him ‘Ye kaun khaata hai, he said ‘Gadhe bhi nahi khaate’.”
