MUMBAI: Making cane items, paper bags and radio jockeying, was part of Indian actor Sanjay Dutt’s daily routine at the Yerwada Central Jail. But apart from it what kept him busy was penning down his life experiences, which has now taken a shape of a book .

The 56-year-old actor, who recently walked out a free man after serving jail term following his conviction in the 1993 Mumbai serial blasts, wrote over 500 sher (couplet) along with two inmates and now he plans to release the poetry collection in form of book titled Salaakhen.

“I wrote something. And I will release the book, Salaakhen. We will show it to some people (publishers). Zeishan Qureshi, Sameer Hingle (inmates) and I wrote 500 sher. It is all in Hindi,” Dutt said.

The Lage Raho Munna Bhai star said out of the 500, he has written about 100 couplets and has also given words to some of the real life instances like the one when his wife, Manyata visited him in jail.

“I remember my wife had come to meet me once and she was having fever and still she came to see me. I insisted she should come to meet me. I felt very bad after seeing her,” he said. “Then I wrote a sher.”

But writing is not something that actor is willing to take up and is waiting eagerly to get back to the routine life of movies. “Let me be with my family...I want to be with them for some time. I missed working. I missed light, sound, camera, action flashes and all,” he said.
