Drug Free India: Sanjay Dutt remembers father, Kapil Sharma talks about quitting alcoholism
Aamir Khan, Akshay Kumar, Varun Dhawan, Arjun Kapoor and Badshah were also some names who joined the Drug-free India campaign
Actors Sanjay Dutt, Kapil Sharma and Badshah were part of a communicating program which would train the younger people in order to make India drug-free. The campaign was organized by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar under his foundation ‘The Art Of Living’. Interestingly, out of the three, Sanjay Dutt and Kapil Sharma have suffered from drug addiction and alcoholism respectively.
Sanjay Dutt visited a rehabilitation centre after getting addicted by drugs. The actor pleaded to his father, and thus, this step was taken. His journey of rehabilitation also makes an important part of the movie Sanju, especially through the song ‘Kar Har Maidan Fateh’.
Coming to Kapil Sharma, this comedian was accused of having success gone to his head. A much-public spat with Sunil Grover came to notice. Kapil got into a heated argument with Sunil Grover, abused him and reportedly even threw a shoe on him after he got severely drunk on an airplane. After much public humiliation, Sharma got a second opportunity, and now is getting praises after he has become a married man.
