Actor Sanjay Dutt’s wife Maanayata Dutt, and his 11-year-old twins Shahraan and Iqra have been living in Dubai for the past two years. In a recent interview, Sanjay has revealed why his wife and kids have shifted to Dubai. He told he is happy that his kids are studying there and his wife Maanayata also has her own things to do there. Sanjay also said that he travels to Dubai to spend time with his family when he’s not busy with his films. He told Times of India, “I will be with them during their summer break. I will go wherever they are.”
He further said, “They could have absolutely been here, but I see that they love it there. They like their school and their activities. My wife’s business has settled there.”
The KGF 2 actor also said that it was unplanned. “It just happened on its own. Maanayata was doing her own business in Dubai. It clicked and she went, and the kids went with her,” he added.
Sanjay Dutt and Maanayata got married in 2008. They welcomed their twins in 2010. Sanjay’s family moved to Dubai before the first Covid-19 lockdown in 2020, and have been living there since then.

It was in August 2020 Sanjay was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung Cancer. In an interview, he had recalled crying for 2-3 hours after his sister broke the news to him. He mentioned he kept thinking about his wife and kids. He told YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia, “It was a normal day in the lockdown. And I walked up the steps, I was totally out of breath. I had a bath, I couldn’t breathe, I didn’t know what was happening, I called up my doctor. In the X-ray, my lungs were more than half covered in water. They had to tap the water out. They all were hoping it was TB (tuberculosis) but it turned out to be cancer.”
On the work front, Sanjay will be seen in Prithviraj starring Akshay Kumar and Manushi Chhillar.
