Sanjay said: "This is an extremely emotional moment for me. I had never really thought of writing an autobiography but the process made me relive most parts and has made me value my life, my friends and those who stood by me even more. It gives me so much happiness to be able to share this moment with all those who are so precious to me."
He also read out an excerpt from his book. The excerpt was about his mentor and his greatest inspiration, the late Raj Kapoor.
