'Sanjay Dutt is an errorist, not a terrorist'
Here's what your favourite Bollywood celebritities are tweeting.
Members of the film fraternity, have spoken out in support of Sanjay Dutt after the Supreme Court sentenced the actor to five years in jail in connection with the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts.
Arbaaz Khan: 'Still shocked by strict judgment meted out to Sanju baba. One has to respect the lands judiciary but personally think its too harsh.. God give Sanju baba and his family the strength to overcome these trying times. Sanju baba is a good guy and will pray for him. God bless !'
Raj Kundra: 'Landed in tokyo to the news of my bro @duttsanjay we have faith in the law. He has suffered 20 years isn't that enuff?? Nicest man I know!'
Pooja Bedi: 'I respect the law... but sometimes facts don't give a true picture. it's rightly said that #sanjaydutt is an errorist not a terrorist. Back then the underworld virtually ruled Bombay & bollywood. Stars would perform for them films were financed by them. Stars scared 2say no. 20 yrs later things have changed& perhaps it's hard 2understand that underworld ruled builders& stars. cops never got th big dons who ruled. It's foolish to have been possibly intimidated into keeping stuff but from what I know of Sanjay he's a gentle giant with a heart of gold.'
Juhi Chawla: 'Extremely saddened by the news of Sanjay Dutt's sentence.. These are tough times.. Strength and prayers to him & his family.'

This judgmnt is way too harsh n NO, he doesn't deserve it. I don't undrstnd the law minutely but he seems to be paying for being sanjay Dutt. All our wishes n prayers are with Sanju sir ..
