If at all the adage of 'seen it and done all' was ever supposed to hold good, Sanjay Gupta would certainly be a forerunner. In a decade and a half long professional journey, the man may have directed only eight films starting with
Aatish (1994) and ending with Zinda (2006).
However, in the process he has seen friends turning foes, his very own spouse being lost and regained, personal relationships turning ugly, super success followed by critical acclaim, a long period of being ignored by his very own film fraternity and a long period sabbatical which could have broken anyone's back. Still, the man has managed to stay afloat, albeit with quite some trouble at every juncture.
Sanjay, while you are smiling today, the fact is known that things weren't quite rosy for you during last five years due to which you had to hold on before starting a project. Rumours have it that once your friendship with Sanjay Dutt came to a close, there were quite a few challenges that you had to face from within the industry.
(Says after a pause) There have been a lot of people whom I had known for 20 years and considered them as friends. I had supported them in the worst of their times. However, overnight they turned once my problems with Dutt emerged. I realised that these people were nothing but star-struck motherf$%
