Sanjay Dutt on falling, failing and redeeming, with Shoma Chaudhury at Algebra The Arts and Ideas Club on 20 November 2016
Sanjay Dutt, a badass with a soft heart as he’d call himself, talks about his childhood, family, initiation into drugs, his rehabilitation, alleged involvement in the underworld, legal battles and coming out clean.
While recounting his experience on and getting off of drugs, Dutt said that there was nothing in the medical book that he hadn’t tried. He recalls that he could almost feel himself dying. Thanking his family for being a constant support, he reveals a promise he made to himself; that of never being high on any substance and that he’ll learn to be high on life, work and family.
Dutt also opens about how solitary confinement and a legal battle under the TADA impacted him and his family and how these experiences have become major fault-lines in his life. “Solitary confinement was an attempt to break me,” he said, “…..but I didn’t break.”
Religion is very important to him but does not define his choices; he’ll eat beef if he wants to, he says. He has read most religious texts and says, “babas and pandits cannot make a fool out of,” him.

Algebra takes the idea of a club - a universe of the likeminded - and expands it to new paradigms. The key idea behind Algebra is to bring together a fellowship of people who believe great cities are built not just on infrastructure but a life of the mind; who understand robust and liberal societies need the oxygen of great conversation and nuanced thinking. At a time when we are increasingly surrounded by rage and noise, Algebra is that unique live and continuous space where people could go for a genuine exchange of ideas and exposure to issues; where new seeds could be sparked, fresh perspectives formed, and intelligent connections made.
Algebra - the Arts and Ideas Club is designed to host over 60 conversations over the year with topline thinkers and practitioners from almost every discipline that impacts human affairs: politics, economy, environment, spirituality, cinema, medicine, science, technology, music, media, literature, the arts, sports, people’s movements, et al. In a line, Algebra is a space where one can meet an exciting, cutting-edge spectrum of people shaping the world in different ways. Where one can test one’s ideas, challenge one’s perspectives, and build friendships. A sort of fellowship of the curious and engaged.
Membership to Algebra is by invitation or referral. If you know an Algebra member, ask them to put you in touch with us.
