Veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha who has shared screen space with the legendary actor in movies such as 'Shaan', 'Heera' and 'Muqabala', to name a few, had remembered Dutt and had called him his 'source of inspiration and motivation', in one of his social media posts. 

On Dutt's 91st birth anniversary back in 2020, Shatrughan took to Twitter where he called the 'Mother India' star a 'source of inspiration and motivation'. While paying  respect to the 'Waqt' actor on Twitter and Sinha wrote: "Tributes & prayers for an actor, producer, director, gentleman politician & a great human being, late & great #SunilDutt on his birth anniversary."
