Accompanying the photo, Salman penned a deeply personal and affectionate message: “Baba is forever Baba and Baba is Baba. Sanju Baba is everyone’s Baba and Sanju Baba is now his children’s Baba, my elder brother Sanjay Dutt. May Allah, God, Jesus keep this man happy. I love you Baba.” This touching public expression of love immediately went viral across social media platforms.
A Legendary Bond On and Off the Screen
