That Sanjay Dutt has a past of substance abuse is universal knowledge. The actor has openly admitted to having used drugs earlier. But at the recently concluded India Today Conclave, the actor revealed the disturbing reason behind why he confided about his drug addiction in his father.

Till one day, the actor hallucinated that there was a wick on his father's head that was melting his face and tried to extinguish the 'flames' much to his father's horror.

The actor also stated that he's been off drugs for the past 40 years. Check out an excerpt from the interview right here.

That was when the actor realised that the situation had gone out of control and confided in his father about his drug habits who promptly sent him to a rehab.
