Sanjay Dutt reaches Mumbai, visits Siddhivinayak with wife Maanyata, see pics

Actor Sanjay Dutt has finally reached his home town Mumbai after being released from Yerwada jail in the morning. The actor served a jail term of 42 months in Yerwada, Pune as part of his five-year sentence after being convicted in the 1993 Mumbai serial bomb blasts case. Looking in good health, he enthusiastically carried in his hands a 'khaki' bag containing his belongings and a green coloured file that apparently contained his prison record. A sense of dramatics crept in as he turned back and saluted the tri-colour atop the prison building and bent to touch the soil in full media glare.

The actor who is finally back in Mumbai took straight to the Siddhivinayak temple soon after he landed in Mumbai. He was accompanied by his wife Maanyata and friends including producer Bunty Walia and the others. Here are his first pictures from Mumbai.
