Priya runs a foundation in her mother's name
Priya Dutt runs the Nargis Dutt Foundation in the name of her mother. Through this, she works to provide help to patients suffering from cancer. Priya Dutt had talked to Dainik Bhaskar some time ago about her mother's illness and foundation. How the foundation of the foundation was laid, Priya had told, 'Father Sunil Dutt had taken mother to America for treatment. Even in the condition of that illness, mother said that you have brought me till here, but just think about those who cannot afford such expensive treatment. Those words of mother laid the foundation of Nargis Dutt Foundation.
Father started this foundation in America. The people there helped him a lot. As long as father was alive, he continued running this foundation with his own money. He was hesitant in asking for funds from anyone. After his death I took charge of it. The foundation had to be taken forward on a much bigger level, so I started collecting funds.
If there were advanced facilities at that time like today, could Nargis ji have been saved? In response, Priya Dutt said, 'Mother had pancreatic cancer, which is very dangerous even today. Although she was a fighter, we can say that if this had happened in today's time, she could have survived. Read the full news..
