As Sanjay Dutt braces for prison life, Bollywood friends visit

MUMBAI: As actor Sanjay Dutt is slated to surrender before the TADA court here tomorrow in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case, several Bollywood personalities today met him at his residence in suburban Bandra.

Dutt's conviction under the Arms Act for possessing an AK-56 rifle was upheld by the Supreme Court in March this year but his sentence was reduced to five years from the earlier six years. He has to serve three and half years as he has already sent some time in the jail in this case earlier.

Bollywood denizens, including actors Abhishek Bachchan, Ajay Devgn, directors David Dhawan and Sanjay Gupta, actor Shilpa Shetty's husband Raj Kundra (with whom Dutt started Super Fight League) and director Apoorva Lakhia (with whom Dutt worked in `Zanjeer' remake) visited him today at his Pali Hill house.

There was heavy police security outside with over 20 policemen and three police vans.
