Sanjay walked out of jail in early 2016 after being convicted in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case. This isn't the first time the actor has expressed such a desire though. He has time and again mentioned how his father would have been the happiest man to see his son free.

When the 59-year-old star was released from prison, he had stated, “To be free is the most amazing feeling. For 23 years I have been waiting for this moment… for freedom. I did everything I could."

He continued, "It’s a feeling that will take a while to sink in. I miss my father today, I wish he was alive to see this day…if he would have been, he would have been the happiest person.”
