Exclusive: I didn't sleep for 10 days after hearing about Nirbhaya case, says Sanjay

The never-ending debate of remuneration disparity doesn’t seem to be fading away. Now, we have Sanjay Dutt batting for equality. The actor says that its high time women are given equal treatment. He says, “There should be a change and I stand for women because I have two daughters and sisters. I think people should start respecting and there should be equality in everything for women.”

The December 16 rape case had been a shocker for Sanjay too. He says, “I think there should be a faster justice in place. We should give more importance to issues like this. When I heard about the case, I didn’t sleep for 10 days. I don’t think the girl has got justice yet. They say that the boy was a juvenile so that’s not justice,” the 58-year-old says, whose film, Bhoomi, a revenge drama, which has a father-daughter relationship, is set for a Friday release.

Sanjay was arrested for illegal possession of arms in a case related to the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, in which over 250 people were killed and several hundred were wounded. The actor who went behind bars says that the Bollywood industry stood by him during the most difficult phase of his life. He says, “I never felt alone even during the dark phase. The industry was together and supported my family and me. More than me, its because of my dad’s (Sunil Dutt) goodwill that people were around me to support.”
