Sanjay Dutt is a reformed man after being released from jail. The Bollywood actor who was imprisoned for illegal possession of arms, told Rajdeep Sardesai at the India Today Conclave, that he was a patriot and could never think of harming the country. "I have learnt a lot of things, most importantly I learnt the law of the country," said Dutt.

"I never let my father down, he knew whatever I may have done, he knew that the act of terrorism was not there," the actor added. He thanked the people of the country for standing behind him during his troubles.

Here are some of the key quotes:

"I could never think of harming my country, but such a case was put against me. I thank people of this country."

"I was treated worst than any other convict. I felt I was back in the British days."

"I gave the money that I had saved in jail to my wife."

"I don't know why they are not changing the jail manual, it is outdated."

"To feel free it will take a little time. It's not just 5 years in jail but 23 years."

"My hands became like rock. If you want to lose weight, there's nothing like jail." 

"For my fans, I will always be 'Sanju Baba,' in jail also they addressed me that way only."

"Was given something called 'rajgira' to eat & it tastes really bad."
