Dutt sought extension of his parole to be able to look after his ailing wife, who recently underwent a surgery in Mumbai.

Last month, the Maharashtra government had extended Dutt's parole by another 30 days on the ground of his wife's illness.

The Bollywood actor was granted a month-long parole on December 6 last year, which triggered protests outside Pune's Yerawada Jail forcing the government to order an inquiry. Prior to it, he had availed of a month-long leave of furlough on medical grounds.

Dutt had secured parole on December 21, 2013 from Pune`s Yerawada Central Jail and was expected to return to the jail after completing his one-month leave from prison Monday. But the parole was extended to 21st of February as Manyata was to undergo a surgery and Dutt wanted to take care of his wife. Now Dutt is asking for another month extension as she is still recovering from surgery.

The tabloid reported that Manyata has had fluids removed from her lungs also quoted a source from the Bandra police confirming the news, “Dutt has applied for an extension to his parole. The application mentions that he wants to take care of his ailing wife.”

Manyata was reported to be suffering from multiple ailments of the heart and liver and was admitted to Global Hospital in Parel, Mumbai, in January.

Dutt faced several protests outside his home and jail for his many parole requests and alleged pressure that the jail officials have got to grant him the favours.

This is Dutt`s second parole on the grounds of wife Manyata`s illness. Sanjay Dutt had previously got parole in October as he had fallen sick. The parole period was for 2 weeks which was extended for 15 days. This second order garnered a lot of controversies as photographs of Manyata in a Bollywood movie screening a few days before did rounds in the media.

Emraan Hashmi says Aishwariya is Plastic and Amir is Boring

Actor Emraan Hashmi too has become outspoken as his uncle filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt. The two of them were on Karan Johar’s chat show ‘Koffee with Karan’, and together they tore into Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Aamir Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Imran Khan. Bhatt labelled Bhansali an “overrated filmmaker”, Emraan went on to say that Aishwarya Rai is “plastic”, Aamir is “boring” and then used the “overrated” adjective for Imran.

According to sources, when Bhatt was asked about it he said, ”Does this nation have no sense of humour? Or is the nation awed by their non-existent greatness? Koffee with Karan is a lighthearted show on which you are asked frivolous questions which you are expected to answer honestly. People have an opinion about Emraan and me, ditto for us. But this is all in context of the show. I have also demolished myself.” 

Bhatt further added that, “Real artistes are are not in awe of themselves. They demolish themselves before anybody else demolishes them. These comments are not going to be preserved for posterity. I hope our opinions are taken in the right spirit. If you are in a public space you should take such comments with a pinch of salt.”

We think that the industry is very sensitive to such remarks.
