Known for his devil-may-care attitude, Sanjay Dutt might not fall in the league of the chocolaty and charming actors of the industry but it is his rustic personality which makes people drool behind him. He enjoys a fan base which not many of his colleagues enjoy. Sanjay Dutt stands for the blunt, bold and daring sorts. He may not be the Mr. Clean but nobody is complaining as long as he keeps the audience enthralled with his on-your-face realistic acting and well maintained body!
For many of his fans and tattoo lovers, it would be a pleasing fact to know that Sanjay Dutt is one of industry’s first few actors who fell in love with tattoos. Remember Agneepath –the 2012 blockbuster in which Sanjay played the role of the dark and intimidating Kancha Cheena? Draped in dark black clothes, the tattoos done on the forehand of the actor, added to the ferocity of the character.
This love affair of Sanjay Dutt with tattoos goes well back to his years of struggle. The ‘Samurai tattoo’ done on his right arm is nothing but the vivid description of his war with life which he has fought so gallantly. Of late, adding to his prestigious list of tattoos, Sanjay Dutt has got himself a Tibetan version of ‘OM’ near his upper back, during the shoot of one of his movies in Goa. Given the big brother status that Sanjay Dutt enjoys in the industry, he is said to be the inspiration behind the Lion tattoo which Ajay Devgan had got himself for another bollywood blockbuster ‘Singham’.
Sanjay is known to be a man who believes in few. But it is also a truth that his belief is one which is rock solid. For tattooing, Sanjay Dutt has his confidence entrusted in Vishwas Dorewakar of Hakim Aalim’s studio who has done all his tattoos. He is the guy who has done a Japanese version of honor done on Dutt’s forearm.
Kancha – The Tattooed Demon!
Of late, the cinestar is planning to go ahead with his tattoo-passion and that too, in his usual flamboyant style. He is planning for a full sleeve tattoo design which would be the aesthetic mix of Troy and Mughal-e-Azam design. Given the kind of fun loving person Sanju Baba is, his obsession with tattoos is always a matter of joy for his crew members and that is not because of nothing as whom else if not as mighty hearted as Sanjay Dutt could provide his entire crew a chance to get tattooed at his own expense!
For all those who think Sanju as a stone hearted persons, his tattoos are a befitting reply of the kind heart that breathes inside his rough and tough exterior. Apart from all the symbols which Sanjay has got on his body as tattoos ranging from the ‘OM’ to the ‘Snake’ to the Lion Tattoo, he has also got the names of his beloved inked as tattoos on his body.
Sanjay has got the original name of his wife ‘Maanyata’, ‘Dilnasheen’ inked from his left elbow to the wrist. Even Maanyata was flattered to see this baddie going through the pains of the whole tattooing process. He has also got the name of her father and mother inked on his chest in Devnaagari and Urdu scripts respectively.
People are free to judge his fascination with tattoos as yet another style statement but one cannot deny the fact that the tattoos inked around his body are a clear cut representation of the aesthetic and romantic core that this hunk cum superstar possesses!
