Sanjay Dutt has finally admitted that he is married to Manyata.

A half-page advertisement in Shiv Sena mouthpiece Saamna, which
congratulated Sena chief Bal Thackeray on his 82nd birthday
today, mentions the names of those greeting Thackeray as
‘Sanjay Dutt and Manyata Dutt’ instead of her surname, Shaikh
Dilnawaz.

The ad says, ‘Wishing a very happy birthday to Hindu Hriday
Samrat’ Shri Balasaheb Thackeray from Sanjay Dutt [Images] and
Manyata Dutt.’

Sanjay had always denied his marriage to Manyata earlier, and
this is the first time he has announced the union in public.

The Dutts have always been on good terms with the Thackerays,
ever since the Sena chief intervened and bailed out Dutt from
jail in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts case. In fact, after he
came out of jail in 1995, he went straight to Thackeray’s home
to thank him.

It is rumoured that Sanjay and Manyata got married on October
19, 2006, in Mumbai. It is also rumoured that the couple are
shifting to a new home but no official statement has come from
the Dutts.
