Joining him in the conversation, Maanayata said, “For all those who say I am his anchor, I say he is the sail I set up to protect myself from storms. He’s always stood strong for the kids and me. Even when he was inside, he was worried for us.”

 

She also spoke about how Sunil Dutt was always concerned about Sanjay’s court case. “Earlier, he used to be disturbed, his father didn’t live to hear the court say that he was not a terrorist and acquit him from TADA charges. That had tarnished the family name and bothered him for years,” she said.

The two also spoke about their nine-year-old twin kids Shahraan and Iqra. Maanayata revealed that their daughter Iqra is an artist whose paintings get selected for the school magazine every year and she is planning to hold and exhibition of her canvases soon.
