Actor Sanjay Dutt, who is currently busy raking praises for his phenomenal performance in 'KGF: Chapter 2', recently talked about his history of substance abuse. It is widely known that Sanju dealt with drug addiction during initial years of his career and he often advises today's youth to stay clear of it.

In a recent conversation with Ranveer Allahbadia, Sanjay revealed that initially he started doing drugs in order to impress ladies. “I was very shy, especially with women, so I started it to look cool. You do it and you become a cooler guy with the ladies, you talk to them," he stated.

Further talking about how he got his life back on track, Sanjay said, "Ten years of my life I was in my room, or in the bathroom, and not interested in shoots. But this is what life is, and that’s how everything changed. When I came back (from the rehab), people used to call me charsi. And I thought, galat hai yeh (this is wrong). People on the road are saying this. Kuch karna padega (I have to do something about it). So I started working out. I wanted to break through that. And then from charsi, it became a guy with swag and ‘kya body hai’.”
