Remembering legendary actress and his mother Nargis, Sanjay Dutt poured his heart out in an emotional Instagram post. He took to his Instagram handle to share a picture with his mother that was clicked during his childhood.

"Miss you, Maa! Even though you're not here, your presence is felt in every moment. We hold you close in our hearts and memories Maa. Love you (heart emoji)," he wrote, adding a couple of his pictures with his mother, who's best known for her performance in Oscar-nominated epic drama 'Mother India'.

In the first picture, little Sanjay can be seen standing beside his mother. The other photo features a candid Nargis and Sanjay, engrossed in a discussion.

On Valentine's Day this year, Sanjay Dutt's sister Priya Dutt shed light on the fairy tale love between their parents. "As a little girl when I peeped into the world of love was through the extraordinary connection shared by my parents. Their love wasn't just a story; it was the very essence of who they were to me."Elaborating on their love story, she said, "Their story felt like, it was taken out from the pages of a fairy tale, where a small-town boy was enchanted by the charm of a movie star; a match unforeseen, yet destined by fate."

"Even now, their love story speaks volumes to all those who know it. It speaks of my father's devotion, especially in my mother's lowest moments and her illness. They respected each other through every trial and turbulence of their lives. They loved fiercely and lived wholeheartedly, embracing each other's flaws and strengths. They weren't just lovers; they were confidants, allies, and companions, teaching me that love goes beyond mere romance; it's a friendship, a bond that endures and I believe it does for their love really did, it still does," she added.

"Despite their differences, their love flourished. It's from witnessing their love that I've come to understand the phenomenon in its purest form; imbued with sincerity, commitment, and dedication. So, on this Valentine's Day, I extend to all the warmth of my heart, inspired by the love that continues to shape me, hoping that it touches you as deeply as it has touched me," she concluded.

Nargis made her screen debut in a minor role at the age of five with Talash-E-Haq (1935), but her acting career actually began with the film Tamanna (1942). Her last on-screen appearance was in the psychological thriller film 'Raat Aur Din'.

Post her marriage to Sunil, Nargis quit films for good and settled into happy matrimony.

On May 3, 1981, Nargis lost her life to pancreatic cancer. She was 51 when she breathed her last.
