All know that the dashing Sanjay Dutt is a man with a golden heart and is always more than willing to help not only his friends but also strangers.

The generous side of Dutt came to the fore again when he donated Rs.250,000 to save a two-year-old child suffering from cancer, a disease that killed his mother Nargis Dutt.




It so happened that model-turned-actress Achala Sachdev got a call from a Sikh family-friend, that his two-year-old niece is suffering from cancer and needs financial aid.

"I was stunned," Achala Sachdev is quoted as saying in a news report.

"I know the Sikh family very well. They're family friends. To hear that their little girl Saishaa, who is just 2, has cancer just shook me to the core. The family wanted me to ask Sanjay Dutt for help from the charitable institution Nargis Dutt Foundation that's named after his mother. Since I know Sanjay, I readily agreed and rang him up," Achala said.

But Dutt, who will soon be seen in the role of a father in Kidnap , as usual went many steps further.

"When he heard the seriousness of the situation, he said, 'Forget the foundation. I'll help the girl.' And he immediately agreed to write out a large sum of money for little Saishaa's treatment at the Tata Memorial Hospital," said Achala.

"The girl's distraught mother Harjeet Kaur just wept when she heard about Sanjay's generosity. Just goes to show, the industry has its share of good people. And it's people like Sanjay who make our world a better place," Achala said.

Bravo Baba! This is one of the reasons that we all are your big fans.
