Manyata Dutt (born Dilnawaz Sheikh)[1] is a former Indian actress and the current C.E.O. of Sanjay Dutt Productions. She is the wife of Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt.[1] She is best known for her item number in Prakash Jha's 2003-hit Gangaajal.[1] She is the decision maker of Sanjay's life and is also the CEO of his production house named Sanjay Dutt Productions.[2][3]
Personal life
Manyata Dutt was born to a Muslim family[4] on 22 July 1979 as Dilnawaz Sheikh in Mumbai.[3] She was brought up in Dubai.[3] She was known as Sara Khan in film industry.[1] After her launch in Prakash Jha's Gangajal, she was given the screen name Manyata by Jha[1] but her aspirations to become a star ended when her father died leaving the responsibility of family business on her.
Manyata got married to one of the biggest stars in India, Sanjay Dutt on February 7, 2008 in a private ceremony in Goa.[5] After two years she became the mother of twins, a boy named Shahraan and a girl named Iqra on 21 October 2010.[6][7]
Career
Prior to her first marriage and before she met Dutt, Manyata worked in a C-grade film, Lovers Like Us, opposite a small-time actor Nimit Vaishnav.[8] The rights of the film were later purchased by Sanjay Dutt for Rs. 20 lakh.[8] She had hoped that an item number in Gangaajal would give her career a boost after a series of unsuccessful B-grade films, but then Manyata met Sanjay Dutt and decided to leave her dream of acting.
