Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt walked free from a Pune prison and returned to his home in Mumbai to a hero’s welcome Feb. 25, finally ending 23 years of legal troubles that began when he was found with an assault rifle reportedly linked to the 1993 Mumbai blasts. Hundreds of fans gathered outside his Bandra residence, celebrating with song and dance the return to Bollywood of their favorite hero who has been regaling cinegoers for over 30 years. Manyata, his third wife, their twin kids and sister Priya hugged and kissed him.  Sanjay said the feeling of being free after 23 years  is an amazing feeling.In an emotional moment, he kept the large bag down, turned around to kiss the ground and stood up to salute the Indian tricolor flag fluttering atop the jail. Thus, he  kickstarted his  own life story  on celluloid  under  his  favorite diretor Rajkumar Hirani. The veteran actor declared that he is proud of India and was never a  terrorist. He was booked under the Arms Act.   He took a chartered plane from Pune to Mumbai with his family and close friends and went straight to the famed Siddhivinayak Temple.From there, he went to pray at his mother’s grave first and later folded his hands in front of his father’s portrait at his residence.
