Growing up in a household with two superstars- Sunil Dutt and Nargis Dutt, Sanjay Dutt already lived a glamorous. Being the first child of these two stars, he was given everything he wanted. According to author Yasser Usman’s unauthorized book ‘Sanjay Dutt: The Crazy Untold Story of Bollywood’s Bad Boy’, little Sanjay had turned into a brat that he was sent to boarding school in Himachal. The star parents thought that there was no other option but to send him far away to study so he would get stability in life and be a better person. In the book, the author revealed that Sanjay though when he was sent to boarding, at that age he thought he had done something wrong. It took him a while to adjust to the school but he eventually became the star of it in his teens.
Studying at the Lawrence School, in the hills of Himachal Pradesh at Sanawar, the school life wasn’t as pleasant as one had hoped to be. During the initial years, Sanjay Dutt would write letters to his mom to come and get him. As time passed, the letters became more of the list of things we would want them to bring during their next visit. Then, came the senior years when Sanjay had grown up to be the charming man who would sweep ladies of their feet. The unauthorized book clearly mentions that the school punishments were intense and rather creative. Sanjay would often take the hit to save his friends. Some schoolmates would wonder that teachers were rather stricter with him as he was a son of two stars. They would say that it felt that the teachers wanted to make it a point to other students that it did not matter to them that Sanjay Dutt was the son of Sunil Dutt and Nargis.
