Sanjay Dutt Pays Emotional Tribute to Nargis Dutt on Her 44th Death Anniversary

On the 44th anniversary of his mother’s passing, actor Sanjay Dutt shared a heartfelt tribute to Nargis Dutt, remembering her not just as a legendary actress, but as his guiding light and eternal source of love. Posting on social media, Dutt wrote, “You may not be here, but your love never left. Miss you every day, Maa.” The tribute was accompanied by a series of poignant throwback pictures that captured the essence of Nargis both as a public icon and a private figure deeply loved by her family.

 

Among the images was a striking black-and-white photo of a young Nargis draped in a saree, smiling warmly and waving — likely taken during her early years in Hindi cinema. With a book in hand and grace in her demeanor, the image reminded fans of her iconic screen presence, and her celebrated legacy as one of Indian cinema’s greatest actresses.

 

Nargis Dutt passed away on May 3, 1981, just days before the release of her son’s debut film, Rocky. Official reports cited pancreatic cancer as the cause of death, though her daughter Namrata Dutt later suggested it may have been complications from a urinary tract infection. Regardless, her loss marked a profound turning point for the Dutt family and left a lasting void in Indian cinema.

 

Beyond her cinematic achievements, Nargis was revered for her grace, social work, and strength as a mother and partner. In 1982, her husband, actor-politician Sunil Dutt, established the Nargis Dutt Memorial Cancer Foundation in her memory — a charitable organization dedicated to cancer awareness, treatment, and care. The foundation remains a testament to her legacy, touching countless lives across India and abroad.

 

Sanjay Dutt’s tribute not only reflects the enduring bond he shared with his mother but also serves as a reminder of Nargis’ timeless influence — as a star, a humanitarian, and a maternal figure who continues to live on in memory and spirit.

 

As fans, friends, and the film fraternity pause to remember Nargis Dutt today, her life continues to inspire — a symbol of cinematic excellence and unconditional love.
