'Sanjay and I have literally grown together. We came to the industry at the same time and it feels wonderful to see how he has grown over the years. I hope that he prospers for many more years to come,' he added.

Arshad Warsi, who played his side kick Circuit in Vidhu Vinod Chopra's hit 'Munnabhai' series, describes Sanjay as the coolest person in Bollywood.

'Sanju is a zero complex guy. He has no issues with anybody or anything. He is also not insecure like other actors who'd get other actors' scenes chopped to keep their own part. It's just too cool working with him and that is why our comic timing and everything match,' Warsi had said.

Of late, Sanjay has also found ways of keeping himself looking cool with his fetish for tattoos.

While he already had a couple of tattoos, he has been undergoing frequent inking recently. Just last month, Sanjay got five more tattoos -- including the names of his parents -- legendary actors Sunil Dutt and Nargis.

This year, he also decided to enter politics by joining the Samajwadi Party and was later appointed its general secretary. Though controversy followed him even there, Sanjay faced it with a smile.
