In a scenario that feels straight out of a Bollywood movie, veteran actor Sanjay Dutt recently became the focus of a remarkable event. A devoted fan, Nisha Patil, reportedly left her entire fortune—valued at an astounding ₹72 crore—to the actor before her demise.
The news has taken social media by storm, with many calling it an unprecedented act of admiration for the Munna Bhai MBBS star.

According to reports, Nisha Patil was an ardent admirer of Sanjay Dutt but had no personal connection with him. However, before passing away, she ensured that all her assets—including ₹49.6 lakh in cash and properties worth ₹72 crore—were legally transferred to Dutt. Her decision was reportedly influenced by years of admiration for the actor’s resilience, struggles, and achievements.
As the news spread, Sanjay Dutt’s legal team stepped forward to clarify his stance. His lawyer stated that the actor had no prior acquaintance with Patil and had no intention of accepting the inheritance.
“Sanjay Dutt was unaware of this and had no relationship with the deceased. While the gesture is touching, he has no plans to claim the property,” his legal representative confirmed.
Dutt’s decision has further enhanced his reputation, with fans lauding his integrity and refusal to benefit from an unexpected fortune.
Since the actor has declined the inheritance, the legal proceedings will determine the fate of the assets. If no legal heirs or claimants emerge, the properties may be taken over by the government under the applicable succession laws.
While Bollywood celebrities often have dedicated fan followings, this incident stands out as truly extraordinary. Nisha Patil’s deep admiration for Sanjay Dutt highlights the emotional bond fans share with their favorite stars. Meanwhile, Dutt’s refusal to accept the inheritance reflects his strong moral principles and respect for the situation.
