Missed family in jail, says Sanjay Dutt

Actor Sanjay Dutt, who was released from the Yerwada Central Jail in Pune last year, says he missed every moment of being with the people from the film industry, whom he fondly calls his family.

Asked how has he evolved over the years, Sanjay, who made his debut in Bollywood in 1981 with the film "Rocky", said here: "My experience with the industry has been fantastic...it has been 40 years...when I was in jail, I missed the moment of being with my family. This is my family -- the industry."

The 57-year-old was arrested for illegal possession of arms in a case related to the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, in which over 250 people were killed and several hundred were wounded.

Sanjay is making a comeback to the silver screen with Omung Kumar's directorial "Bhoomi", which revolves around a father-daughter relationship.

Talking about his comeback, the actor, who has two three children, said: "When I reached the 'Bhoomi' sets, I was back with a bang."
