Sanjay Dutt Recalls Past-Life Story, Says He Was Once a King Betrayed by His Wife

Bhopal:

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt once shared a fascinating story about what a priest allegedly told him about his past life. According to the actor, the priest claimed that he had been a king of the Ashoka dynasty in a previous birth. The king's wife was reportedly involved in a relationship with a minister and had sent him to war, hoping he would be killed. However, the king returned alive and, after discovering the alleged affair, killed both his wife and the minister.

Sanjay Dutt narrated the story during an appearance on filmmaker Karan Johar's chat show Koffee with Karan, where he was accompanied by actress Sushmita Sen. He said that, following a friend's suggestion, he had visited a village in South India known for the tradition of locating palm-leaf manuscripts, also called Nadi records, using thumb impressions. It was there that a priest reportedly told him the story of his alleged previous birth.

According to Dutt, after killing his wife and the minister, the king renounced worldly life and went into the forest, devoting himself to Lord Shiva. He gave up food and eventually died of starvation.

The actor also connected this account to the challenges and circumstances of his present life. He suggested that his good deeds in the previous birth had earned him a good family and a career in films, while the consequences of the killings he allegedly committed as a king were being experienced in his current life.

However, the account is based entirely on Sanjay Dutt's personal belief and the priest's alleged claims. There is no independent evidence to verify the story of his supposed previous life.
