Soon after the Supreme Court pronounced its judgement on the 1993 Mumbai blasts in which Sanjay Dutt was served a five-year sentence, several Bollywood stars paid the distraught actor a visit at his residence in Pali Hill, a western Mumbai suburb.

An emotional Dutt was surrounded by friends, family and well-wishers. Sister Namrata Dutt arrived with husband Kumar Gaurav.

Meanwhile, Dutt's toddlers Iqra and Shahran were escorted out for a stroll.

Actor Ranbir Kapoor, who arrived at 9 pm, stayed on well past midnight.

Vidya Balan was among the stars who showed up in support.

Munnabhai director Rajkumar Hirani, who Dutt apparently called and asked him to take care of his kids immediately after the verdict was pronounced, visited twice through the day.

Director Anees Bazmee, who's worked with the actor on films like Ready and No Problem, was one of the visitors.

Apoorva Lakhia, director of the much awaited Zanjeer remake in which Dutt plays the negative character, arrived with a friend.

Director Anubhav Sinha was spotted arriving.

Dutt's lawyer Satish Maneshinde was at the Pali Hill residence too.
