New Delhi : Sanjay Dutt is a famous actor and cancer survivor, and closest friends Paresh Geelani and Jay Patel have discovered a special way to celebrate his birthday every year. On July 29, they commemorate the life of Sanjay Dutt, who has been an inspiration to many through his bravery and perseverance in the face of disease.

The love and strength of Sanjay Dutt’s family—especially his sisters Namrata and Priya, his wife Manyata, and the rest of the family—was crucial to his recovery from cancer. Particularly impressive is the work that Priya Dutt, via the Nargis Dutt Foundation, has been doing to help cancer sufferers.

The couple thanks the many medical workers who are working tirelessly to better the lives of cancer patients, recognising the vital role the medical community plays in the war against the disease. Among those cited are Dr. Shailesh Talati, a sympathetic and competent medical oncologist; Dr. Navneet Shah, a dedicated diabetologist and endocrinologist; and Dr. Sewanti Limaye, a famous researcher in the area of cancer therapy.

They also have a childhood buddy, Dr. Pinakin Shah, who runs the Shubham Cancer Hospital and has never wavered in his dedication to helping people in need.

Paresh Geelani and Jay Patel have pledged to provide free cancer surgeries to deserving and needy patients on the occasion of Sanjay Dutt’s birthday, July 29th, at Shubham Cancer Hospital in Ahmedabad, India, to further their noble cause and as a token of appreciation for the medical professionals’ efforts. This act is a tribute to the compassion shown in the face of terminal illnesses like cancer and the determination shown by those who are fighting them.

It is important to raise awareness and support for cancer patients around the world, and Sanjay Dutt has become a global champion for cancer care through The Defeat-NCD Partnership at the United Nations Institute for Training and Research.

This selfless effort by Paresh Geelani and Jay Patel exemplifies the best of mankind in times of difficulty and shows how friends and communities can rally behind individuals who are suffering difficult medical situations.
