Kind. Compassionate. Gentle. Determined.

There were many facets to actor-politician Sunil Dutt, who passed away at 11 am this morning.

Despite suffering from a spate of tragedies -- his wife, former actress Nargis, unsuccessfully battled cancer; his son, actor Sanjay, was jailed as a conspirator in the Bombay riots, the case is continuing though the actor is out on bail – Dutt never lost the will to fight.

He was always spotted with a smile on his face.

Dutt was undoubtedly a man of the masses, and he never feared to reach out.
