Video: Sanjay Dutt Opens Up About Love Story With Maanyata, Says 'She Stood Like a Rock After My Mother Nargis'

Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt's personal life has always been as dramatic as any cinematic story. From controversies, prison terms, and substance struggles to intense romantic relationships, almost every phase of his life has remained in the headlines. Amidst all the storms, however, certain relationships stood the test of time. Recently, the actor opened up about his wife Maanyata Dutt, highlighting her special place in his life.

'After My Mother Nargis, Maanyata is the Only One Who Stood Like a Rock'

During a candid conversation with Shekhar Suman, Sanjay Dutt praised Maanyata, stating that he has seen very few women who are as committed and dedicated as a mother and a wife. Comparing her to his legendary mother and actress Nargis Dutt, Sanjay said, "I have seen very few women who are as committed and dedicated as a mother and wife. After my mother, she is the only woman I have seen who stands like a rock. Whether it was jail or any other crisis, she has always been right by my side."

How Did Their Love Story Begin?

Sharing interesting details about his love story with Maanyata, Sanjay revealed that she often jokes about having seen him when she was just a child. There is an age gap of around 20 years between the two. After crossing paths and getting to know each other, they started dating and eventually tied the knot in February 2008. In October 2010, the couple welcomed their twin children, Shahraan and Iqra.

A Long Journey of Relationships

Sanjay Dutt's personal life has frequently mirrored his cinematic journey. His first marriage was to the late actress Richa Sharma, with whom he has a daughter, Trishala Dutt. Following Richa's passing, Trishala was raised by her grandparents in the US. Although distance and legal troubles created a temporary rift between Sanjay and Trishala, their bond has since strengthened, and the actor is immensely proud of her. Today, Maanyata remains his strongest anchor, proving that behind the glamour and controversies, family support remains paramount.
