His romance with actress Nargis, which began dramatically on the sets of 'Mother India' when he rescued her from a fire, became one of Bollywood's most cherished love stories.

Despite these hardships, Sunil Dutt remained a pillar of strength, both for his family and his fans.
In addition to his cinematic achievements, Sunil Dutt made significant contributions to Indian politics.
He joined the Congress party in 1984 and served as a Member of Parliament for five consecutive terms, representing the Mumbai North West constituency until his death.
Sunil Dutt's final film appearance was in 'Munna Bhai M.B.B.S,' where he shared the screen with Sanjay, creating memorable moments that fans still cherish.
On May 25, 2005, Sunil Dutt breathed his last.
