Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt took to Instagram to celebrate 17 years of marriage with his wife, Maanayata Dutt, sharing an emotional tribute to her unwavering support and love.
Posting a series of pictures of the couple, Sanjay expressed his gratitude, calling Maanayata his “rock” and thanking her for standing by him through life’s ups and downs. His heartfelt caption read:
“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.”
A love that stood the test of time
Sanjay and Maanayata tied the knot on 7 February 2008, in an intimate wedding at the Taj Exotica in Goa, surrounded by close friends and family. Two years later, they welcomed their twins, Shahraan and Iqra, on 21 October 2010.
To mark the special milestone, Maanayata also shared a heartfelt video on Instagram, accompanied by a deep and reflective message about the true meaning of love. She wrote:
“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, and we see the true person that they are—their mood swings, their moral differences, their habits. Sometimes, it’s not so pleasant anymore…”
She continued,
“But even then, if you choose to love the same person, such love is built on understanding, strength, and power. And when you say ‘I love you’ after all this, it is imperishable… forever. I love you @duttsanjay, my annoying bestest half.”
Maanayata concluded her post with hashtags #happyanniversary #love #grace #positivity #dutts #beautifullife #thankyougod.
Sanjay and Maanayata’s marriage has stood strong through challenges, from Sanjay’s legal battles to his health struggles, proving their unwavering commitment to each other. Their love story remains one of Bollywood’s most enduring romances, and this anniversary is yet another testament to their bond.
Here’s wishing the couple many more years of love and togetherness!
