  • I Missed My Family In Jail: Sanjay Dutt
Actor Sanjay Dutt, who is currently shooting his comeback film "Bhoomi" here, says he is a person from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar due to his maternal connect.
 
"My nani (grandmother) was from Uttar Pradesh and my nana (grandfather) was from Gaya, Bihar...So I am a UP and Bihar person," Sanjay, son of late actors Nargis and Sunil Dutt, said at a press conference of the film here on Friday.
 
The actor also shared that the shooting for the film is going very well.
 
"Have faced the camera after five years," added the actor, whose last film "PK", in which he played a small role, released in 2014.
 
"Bhoomi", directed by National Award-winning director Omung Kumar, revolves around a father-daughter relationship. It also stars Aditi Rao Hydari and Shekhar Suman.
 
 
MISSED FAMILY IN JAIL
 
 
Actor Sanjay Dutt, who was released from the Yerwada Central Jail in Pune last year, says he missed every moment of being with the people from the film industry, whom he fondly calls his family.
 
Asked how has he evolved over the years, Sanjay, who made his debut in Bollywood in 1981 with the film "Rocky", said here: "My experience with the industry has been fantastic...it has been 40 years...when I was in jail, I missed the moment of being with my family. This is my family -- the industry."
 
The 57-year-old 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. 
 
Sanjay is making a comeback to the silver screen with Omung Kumar's directorial "Bhoomi", which revolves around a father-daughter relationship.
