Famous paparazzi Varinder Chawla has opened up about his fun relationship with Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt. He shared that the actor used to offer drinks to paparazzi during shoots and helped him during an accident. Chawla described Dutt as his messiah.
Sanjay Dutt is a veteran Bollywood actor who has been in the industry for over 40 years. Fans adore him passionately, and his recent role as SP Aslam Chaudhary in the film 'Dhurandhar' showcased his impressive performance. However, his bond with paparazzi is equally special.
Famous paparazzi Varinder Chawla shared his experiences with Dutt in an interview with Siddharth Kannan. He recounted that during shoots, Dutt would call them over and ask, 'Oye, come here... Do you drink?' If the paparazzi declined, citing work, Dutt would insist, with others joining in. Chawla said, 'He would force us to sit and drink with him. We had no choice. He's such a big star that whether you drink or not, everyone ends up joining him. We would sit outside his house and drink with him.'
In another incident, Chawla accidentally bumped his new car into Dutt's vanity van at Filmistan Studio. Onlookers demanded money and wouldn't let him leave. Then Dutt arrived and asked, 'What happened?' After Chawla apologized, Dutt turned to his team and said, 'Let him go.' Recalling the moment, Chawla stated, 'At that moment, he seemed like God to me, my messiah. Sanjay Dutt has always been very chill and cool.'
Additionally, a Diwali video of Dutt went viral, where he humorously advised paparazzi to go home and celebrate the festival. The story was reported on January 4, 2026.
