Bollywood legend Sanjay Dutt and his wife Maanayata Dutt celebrated 17 years of marital bliss, marking the occasion with heartfelt messages.
The couple’s enduring love story and their heartfelt messages have captivated fans, who flooded social media with congratulatory messages, celebrating their journey of love and togetherness.
The Saajan star took to Instagram to express his love and gratitude for his wife, sharing a picture of the couple alongside a touching message.
"Happy anniversary maa, thank you for being in my life and always being a rock and standing by me, and thank you for giving me Iqra and Shahraan, love you lots @maanayata," Sanjay Dutt wrote, acknowledging her unwavering support and their journey together as parents.
Maanayata, too, poured her heart out in a deeply emotional post, reflecting on the essence of true love.
"When you truly love a person, you love them twice!! We hurry too much when we say 'I love you' the first time. We are attracted to the way they look, the way they smell, the way they move, the way they talk. But, after a few months or years, the curtain falls off from the senses that are not so attractive anymore!" she wrote.
She continued: "We are faced with the true person that they are—the generational trauma, the mood swings, the moral indifferences, the habits... sometimes it's not so pleasant anymore. But even then, if you choose to love the same person, such love is the love of understanding, knowing, and power. And when you say, 'I love you,' this love is strength—imperishable and forever. 'I love you' @duttsanjay my annoying bestest half."
Adding a romantic touch, she accompanied her post with the song Ho Gayi Hai Mohabbat, further expressing her affection for her husband.
Sanjay Dutt and Maanayata tied the knot in 2008 after dating for two years. The couple shares twins, a son Shahraan and a daughter Iqra. This marks Sanjay Dutt’s second marriage; he was previously married to Richa Sharma, who passed away in 1996. He also has a daughter, Trishala, from his first marriage.
