I’m grateful beyond words for the strength and values they’ve given me. Here’s to all the love, laughter, and memories that always will be. To infinity and beyond.”

Sunil Dutt passed away on May 25, 2005, at the age of 75, following a heart attack at his Mumbai residence. A towering presence in Indian cinema, Dutt gained prominence in the 1950s and went on to star in over 100 films, delivering memorable performances in timeless classics like “Mother India,” “Mujhe Jeene Do,” and “Reshma Aur Shera.” In addition to his celebrated film career, Dutt also left a lasting impact in the realm of public service, serving as a Member of Parliament and holding the portfolio of Minister for Youth Affairs and Sports in the Indian government.

Marking the 20th death anniversary of her father, Priya Dutt had earlier honored his lasting legacy and the enduring impact he continues to have.
