Jail Diary - I
20. 5. 2013,
Mumbai
For three months, Sanjay Dutt had been dreading the moment when he would have to leave all his loved ones and surrender himself to Tada Court.
For three months, he had
been breaking down at home, on the sets and at press conferences.
For three months, he had
been preparing himself for his moment of truth but the harder he
tried, the more vulnerable he turned.
Jail Diary
is a journey into the mind space of a man serving his term inside the
prison.
A man reared in the lap of
luxuries and an actor loved by millions.
May 15:
It is the day before Sanjay Dutt has to surrender and he is nervous
as hell. He has not slept a wink in many days and as the hours go
by, Sanjay trembles with fear. He wants to be brave but cannot fight
his tears. If only he could turn the clock and live his life again
but all he has now is regrets. His family has been rallying around
Sanjay for many weeks now yet nothing they say or do can take away
his fears. Late night when everyone has retired, Sanjay and Manyata
and Sanjay tiptoe into the children’s room and watch the twins
sleep peacefully. They stay awake all night holding each other’s
hands waiting for the dawn that that will change their life forever.
