In a heartwarming Valentine’s Day post, Priya Dutt, sister of Sanjay Dutt and daughter of Sunil and Nargis Dutt, took to Instagram with a story she claims shaped her life, a story of devotion, destiny and love. The story in question is that of her parents, Sunil and Nargis Dutt, whose love was not just a story to Priya, but the essence of what they meant to her.
Speaking of the long enduring bond her parents shared, Priya shed light on the fairy tale love between the two Bollywood legends, "As a little girl when I peeped into the world of love was through the extraordinary connection shared by my parents. Their love wasn’t just a story; it was the very essence of who they were to me. Their story felt like, it was taken out from the pages of a fairy tale, where a small-town boy was enchanted by the charm of a movie star; a match unforeseen, yet destined by fate."
She added, "Even now, their love story speaks volumes to all those who know it. It speaks of my father’s devotion, especially in my mother’s lowest moments and her illness. They respected each other through every trial and turbulence of their lives. They loved fiercely and lived wholeheartedly, embracing each other’s flaws and strengths. They weren’t just lovers; they were confidants, allies, and companions, teaching me that love goes beyond mere romance; it’s a friendship, a bond that endures and I believe it does for their love really did, it still does."
Priya shared, "Despite their differences, their love flourished. It’s from witnessing their love that I’ve come to understand the phenomenon in its purest form; imbued with sincerity, commitment, and dedication. So, on this Valentine’s Day, I extend to all the warmth of my heart, inspired by the love that continues to shape me, hoping that it touches you as deeply as it has touched me."
Through the story of her parents, Priya aims to spread the same kind of warmth she received through their love, hoping to inspire and touch the hearts of not just Bollywood fans, but fans of old-school romance, and anyone in need of a little inspiration and warmth this Valentine’s Day.
