Mumbai Murmur: Sanju Baba to become Sanju Papa

Mumbai: A day after Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt married his long-time girlfriend Manyata in Mumbai, newspaper reports on Tuesday suggested that Manyata is pregnant with Dutt's child.


Mumbai's Midday newspaper quoted an industry insider, who is close to the Dutts as saying that the couple went ahead with the wedding hurriedly "because they have a more special announcement to make shortly." And that explains the need for Monday's formal shaadi, the newspaper claimed.


On Sunday, Manyata deliberately showed up at an event teeming with media, with sindoor in her maang, sparking media speculation about her marriage with Sanjay.


Surprisingly, Sanjay Dutt's immediate family was nowhere to be seen at his wedding on Monday. His sister, Priya Dutt, when contacted, said she had not been informed or invited for the wedding.


“Maybe he needed to formalise the relationship. He has been going on with Manyata for more than a year. I didn’t know about the wedding. We wish him all the happiness especially after all he has been through,” Priya said.


The couple, incidentally, formalised their relationship with a court marriage in Goa, earlier this month. The Hindu marriage ceremony, which started around noon on Monday, concluded around 1700 hours IST.
