Ameesha Patel who has been in the industry for around 25 years now, is known for movies like 'Kaho Naa...Pyaar Hai' and 'Gadar'. The actress shares a great bonding and friendship with many in the industry and in a recent interview she spoke about her equation with Sanjay Dutt and his wife Maanayata Dutt. She said that Sanjay is very protective and possessive of her and Ameesha had even hosted a baby shower for Maanayata when she was pregnant with twins.
She said in an interview with Filmymantra, "I threw Sanju a baby shower when Maanayata was pregnant with twins, and we didn’t know that it was going to be one girl and one boy. It was very beautiful; everyone, including both of Sanju’s sisters, had come for the shower."
Ameesha revealed that the Dutts had an interesting gift for everyone when their children were born. She said, "When Shahraan and Iqra were born, it was so beautiful because Maanayata is Muslim and Sanju is Hindu, even though he had a Muslim mother. The gift that they sent us once the children were born was a copy of the Gita and the Quran.”
Interestingly, even Sanjay's parents had an interfaith wedding. His mother Nargis was a Muslim and his father Sunil Dutt was a Hindu. Recently, in an interview, with Vickey Lalwani, Sanjay's sister Priya Dutt revealed that before Nargis passed away she had expressed her wish to be burried as per Muslim rituals. She said that her father Sunil Dutt did that as per her wish, despite people telling him otherwise.
