Politician Priya Dutt’s movie memoirs owe much to the luminous presence of her actor parents – the late Nargis and Sunil Dutt, writes Farhana Farook
She’s well-acquainted with the intricacies of cinema and well-versed with the intrigue of politics. Few would have a ringside view of such hi-profile worlds.

That she chose politics has got much to do with her desire to make a difference, despite the usual misgivings and challenges associated with the line of work. “You do feel disillusioned. But you can’t give up,” maintains she with a hard-earned flair. You could also attribute this to the extreme highs and lows that their home, 58 Pali Hill, has been privy to and the forbearance with which the family has survived it all.
