On Saturday, Ghelani took to Twitter and finally spoke about the film Sanju. He penned down a heartwarming note for Sanjay Dutt saying he felt numb with “limitless emotions” while watching the film.

The tweet read, “It has been many years of staying away from the social media. I finally give in to embrace it. As I begin, here’s to you my brother Sanjay Dutt, a note that I have been writing in my head and heart for a very long time and now here it is all in the open.”

A  note attached to the tweet had all about his experience of watching Sanju. He said, “After watching the film ‘Sanju’, I was numb, numb with limitless emotions. I wanted to just hug him, hold on to him and cry. Cry endlessly to the years we stood by and witnessed this roller coaster called life and the irrevocable loss of loved one… To the mistakes we cannot do undo, to the strength we cannot find elsewhere but in each other.”

Ghelani concluded by saying he always looked past “flaws, women, controversies” in Dutt’s life. Read the post here.
