Here is the menu: chicken curry without the bird, watery dudhi and bhopla for veggies, all teamed with rice loaded with stones. To wash it down, Sanjay Dutt filled his glass at the communal tap and drank deep.
Jail food never did make it to the Michelin Guide, but Dutt, who is known for his love of Tandoori chicken (has a recipe named after him) and Chinese cuisine, admitted without qualms that he loved the food dished out to him at Yerawada jail, Pune. "Jinke jeb mein paisa hai, unko boti milti hai," grinned Dutt.
After 23 days in jail, Dutt was finally released from prison on the interim bail order by the Supreme Court. Sipping tea spiked with honey, the actor told his friends and family gathered inside his home, that he had signed at least 1150 autographs in jail - a minimum of 50 every day.
They went to prison guards and officers, undertrials and their friends, families and neighbors - all visitors to the jail. Dutt said many prisoners had wept on his shoulders recounting the life they had left behind and the years in jail ahead of them.
The actor said he was embarrassed to wash his undergarments in public. "For the first few days, I wasn't comfortable. Finally, I gathered courage to fill water for washing clothes, bathing and drinking from the commom tap," Dutt said.
