Sanjay Dutt on Salman Khan's acquittal: Somewhere justice prevails

Actor Sanjay Dutt celebrated his 57th birthday with the media in Mumbai recently. While interacting with journalists, among the myriad of subjects he discussed with them, he also mentioned the alleged tiff between him and his buddy Salman Khan.

Reports were rife that Sanjay Dutt was miffed with Khan over a 'manager hiring issue'. However, in the interaction, the Khalnayak star stated that all such reports are false and Salman is akin to his younger brother and will always be. He said:

"Salman is my younger brother. He was, he is and he will always be my brother. God has given him all the success, all his cases are over, but I request the media not to make an issue out of it."

He added:

"We all are busy, we can't meet every day. We met at Madrid but you (media) didn't write about it, you all write only about fights. Will someone fight with their brother? I love him and that's it."

The actor said he is very happy for Salman as the Rajasthan High Court acquitted Sultan actor in two 18-year-old chinkara poaching cases on Monday.

Did Sanjay call Salman after he was acquitted in the chinkara poaching cases? Sanjay said: "Of course, I always call him and I always feel happy for him. I don't want Salman or anyone to go through what I did. Somewhere justice prevails and I am happy it happened."
