Dutt said he still had pain in his legs and appealed to fans to wish for his early release. He also thanked the media for accepting his request to allow him privacy with his family during his parole period.
"I still have a problem in my legs but it is a bit better than before. Pray for me so that I can come out soon. Happy Diwali to all," he said.
The Supreme Court in its March 21 verdict awarded five years' imprisonment to the 53-year-old actor for illegal possession of arms. The apex court on May 14 refused to grant him more time to surrender.
