In a heartfelt throwback post on Instagram, 90s actress Somi Ali has showered praise on Bollywood superstar Sanjay Dutt, calling him the most down-to-earth actor she has ever worked with. Sharing memories from their collaborative days, Somi highlighted Sanjay’s simplicity and warmth that made everyone on set feel special.
Somi reminisced about the 90s era when she first shared screen space with Sanjay in the film ‘Dil Tera Aashiq’. Nervous as a newcomer facing the camera, she found solace in Sanjay’s reassuring presence. ‘He treats everyone like equals, from directors to spot boys,’ she wrote, emphasizing his lack of ego and genuine respect for all.
‘If you’ve worked with Sanju, you know he’s just like the common man. He doesn’t walk into a room owning it; instead, he makes you feel like you’re the star,’ Somi posted. This rare humility in a superstar of his caliber sets him apart, she added.
Sanjay Dutt’s affable personality has long been legendary in the industry. Despite his massive stardom in the 90s, he remained grounded, mingling effortlessly with co-stars and crew alike. Their joint projects during that golden decade only strengthened Somi’s admiration for his unchanged demeanor.
Today, as Sanjay continues to captivate audiences with his versatile roles, Somi’s tribute serves as a reminder of the human side of stardom. Every aspiring actor, she suggests, should emulate his example of humility and kindness on set.
