What is Sanjay Dutt’s connection with Javed Miandad after the video of ‘Sanju Baba’ sending a greeting message to the former Pakistani captain went viral?

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt on Wednesday sent best wishes to former Pakistan cricket team captain Javed Miandad. In a video posted on social media by UAE-based businessman Oman Khan, Sanjay Dutt can be heard sending best wishes to Miandad, expressing his desire to meet him again. The video has received a mixed response from the fans. Due to enmity and deteriorating political relations between the two countries, the meeting of these two celebrities of India and Pakistan has not been fully accepted. Seeing the video, it is understood that Sanjay and Miandad seem to be friends for a long time.

What doesn’t particularly take fans from India is that Sanjay was allegedly involved in the 1993 Mumbai blasts. The actor was arrested under the TADA Act on charges of possessing guns. He was convicted for violating the Arms Act for possessing illegal weapons. These weapons were bought from the accused in the 1993 bomb blasts.
