A recent Raksha Bandhan post by Maanayata Dutt has captured the internet’s attention — not just for its festive warmth, but for the striking resemblance between Sanjay Dutt’s daughter, Iqra, and her late grandmother, legendary actress Nargis Dutt.
The pictures, featuring Iqra with her twin brother Shahraan, quickly had fans drawing comparisons to the timeless beauty of the Mother India star.
In the photos, Iqra, now a teenager, looked elegant in a pink floral kurta. Her skin tone, expressive eyes, delicate facial structure, and nose strongly mirror Nargis Dutt’s charm, instantly reminding Bollywood fans of the iconic actress. However, her lips seem to take after her mother, Maanayata.

Nargis Dutt, one of Indian cinema’s most celebrated actresses, passed away on May 3, 1981, in the US while undergoing treatment for pancreatic cancer. Decades later, her legacy still shines through her granddaughter, who many say carries the same old-world elegance that made Nargis so beloved.
Sanjay Dutt, Maanayata, and their children have been residing in Dubai since before the pandemic. Initially moving there for business reasons, Maanayata’s ventures flourished, prompting the family to stay. Sanjay has mentioned in interviews that his wife and kids are happy there, and with the children settled in school, he has no plans to move them.

On the professional front, Sanjay Dutt was last seen in Housefull 5 and continues to be in high demand for pan-India projects. His upcoming films include Dhurandhar, directed by Aditya Dhar and starring Ranveer Singh, and The Raja Saab, alongside Prabhas and Malavika Mohanan. In 2023, his portrayal of Antony Das in Lokesh Kanagaraj’s Leo opposite Thalapathy Vijay earned him widespread acclaim.
Sanjay Dutt, who bravely overcame a lung cancer scare a few years ago, remains a symbol of resilience. Now, as fans celebrate his daughter Iqra’s resemblance to her iconic grandmother, it’s clear that the Dutt family continues to hold a special place in Bollywood’s legacy.
