Background: Rumored Relationship
Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Dutt were rumored to be in a relationship during the early 1990s.
The two shared strong on-screen chemistry and worked together in several successful films, including Saajan (1991).
Their closeness became a topic of major media attention at the time.
Hanif Zaveri’s Revelation
Writer Hanif Zaveri recently spoke about their relationship in an interview with Meri Saheli.
He claimed that madhuri distanced herself from sanjay dutt after his arrest in connection with the 1993 mumbai bombings case.
According to Zaveri, the relationship ended soon after the controversy began.
Refusal to Support Sanjay Dutt
Zaveri stated that when the film industry protested against Sanjay Dutt’s arrest, madhuri refused to participate.
This marked the beginning of her deliberate effort to distance herself from him publicly.
The party Incident
After Sanjay Dutt was released on bail, director Afzal Khan organized a party.
Madhuri had initially agreed to attend the event, and Zaveri was present as well.
He recalled that madhuri arrived with her secretary and a few others, but appeared uneasy and restless.
Instead of going on stage, she sat briefly near Zaveri and then quietly left the venue.
Zaveri observed that photographers were waiting to capture madhuri and Sanjay together, and she left to avoid being photographed with him.
Fear and Separation
Zaveri revealed that Madhuri’s mother wanted the two to get married, but Sanjay’s legal troubles changed everything.
After his arrest, madhuri was reportedly afraid that she too might be investigated, leading her to sever all ties with him.
