After being hospitalised for two days due to breathlessness, Dutt had earlier this month announced that he is taking a break from work due to his health conditions. Following Sanjay Dutt's announcement last week, several news reports suggested that he has been diagnosed with cancer.
However, his wife, Maanayata, released a statement sharing an update about his health, and urged people to not "fall prey to speculations and unwarranted rumours".
In a statement, Maanayata asked for privacy and that the Dutts have chosen to deal with the situation with positivity and grace: "As a family, we have decided to face this with positivity and grace. We are going to go about our life as normally as possible, with a smile, because this will be a tough fight and a long journey. And, we need to do this for Sanju, without any negativity setting in."
