Sanjay Dutt married Maanayata in February 2008. Today, Maanayata is primarily known as Sanjay Dutt’s wife, but it’s worth noting that she was an actress before their marriage. The real name of 47-year-old Maanayata Dutt is Dilnawaz Sheikh. She began her career as a model and later transitioned into films. Before making her debut, she changed her name to Sara Khan.
She appeared in Kamal Rashid Khan’s film Deshdrohi in 2008, a film that came and went unnoticed, ultimately becoming one of the biggest disasters. Interestingly, it was filmmaker Prakash Jha who gave her the name “Maanayata.” Before her marriage to Sanjay Dutt, she performed an item number in Jha’s film Gangaajal.
The item song Maanayata Dutt performed in 2003 film Gangaajal was titled “Alhad Mast Jawani”.
