Bollywood icon Nargis Dutt was born on 1 June 1929. Marking his late mother's 95th birth anniversary on Saturday, actor Sanjay Dutt took to social media to pen an emotional note and share some throwback pictures.
The first picture in the carousel was a black and white portrait of Sanjay smiling next to Nargis. The second photograph was a solo portrait of the Mother India actor.
Sharing these photos on Instagram, Sanjay captioned the post, "Happy birthday mama, I miss you everyday, every minute, every second, I wish you were with me, leading the life you wanted me to and I hope I have made you proud, love you and miss you mama."
