It is through Sanju that I learned how hierarchy is simply not his thing and it shouldn\u2019t be for anyone else as well.\u2019 Reflecting on her first shoot experience with Sanjay Dutt, she added, \u2018Given my first shoot ever in Bollywood was with Sanju, I deem myself to be extremely fortunate. Be kind. Don\u2019t envy people, uplift them by demonstrating kindness. I have never seen an actor of that kind of clout treating the director and the boy who brings us tea with a carbon copy of dignity as he did the entire crew. Now that\u2019s a real hero.\u2019 She further emphasised the importance of empathy, stating, \u2018It is important to be kind primarily because you never know the hidden battles, grief, or exhaustion others are carrying behind their face.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Somy Ali shares AI video with Sanjay Dutt<\/p>\n<p>Along with the heartfelt note, Somy shared an AI-created video showing her hugging a young Sanjay Dutt, with both appearing in their younger selves.  <\/p>\n<p> Watch<\/p>\n<p> Sanjay Dutt reveals how he ran a radio &amp; theater inside jail\u2014with murder convicts as actors <\/p>\n<p>Somy Ali&#8217;s Bollywood journey with Sanjay Dutt<\/p>\n<p>For those unfamiliar, Somy Ali collaborated with Sanjay Dutt in the 1990s movie \u2018Andolan\u2019.
