Vidya on Sanjay: I wish his punishment is reduced

Sanjay Dutt’s ‘Parineeta’ and ‘Lage Raho Munnabhai’ co-star Vidya Balan feels that the Bollywood actor deserves a lesser punishment in the 1993 blasts case.

Maharashtra Governor K Sankaranarayanan has received several representations and petitions from various individuals and organisations, both seeking and opposing clemency for the 53-year-old actor.

Dutt has been ordered by the Supreme Court recently to return to jail to complete the five-year-sentence in the blasts case.
