Celebrated former actor and entrepreneur Maanayata Dutt rang in her 47th birthday today, and her special day was marked by an outpouring of love from her family.
Social media was abuzz with touching messages and unseen photos, led by a heartfelt tribute from her husband, veteran actor Sanjay Dutt.
Taking to Instagram, Sanjay shared an emotional post dedicated to his wife, thanking her for being his unwavering pillar of strength. “Happy birthday maa, thank you for being in my life, you have been my strength, my support, my adviser, my pillar, god always bless you with happiness and peace, love you always maa @maanayata,” he wrote.
The accompanying pictures captured tender moments of the couple holding hands, precious family clicks with their children Iqra and Shahraan, and glimpses of vacation memories.
Their twin children, Iqra and Shahraan, who were born in 2010, also took to social media to share rare and adorable photos with their mother, adding a deeply personal touch to the day’s celebrations.
Meanwhile, Trishala Dutt—Sanjay’s daughter from his first wife Richa Sharma—joined in from afar, sharing a warm birthday message on her Instagram stories with a lovely photo and the words: “Happy birthday Maanayata. I love you.”
Maanayata, who has stood by Sanjay through his professional highs and personal trials, remains an integral part of his journey both at home and in the public eye. The couple tied the knot in February 2008, and over the years, Maanayata has been credited with playing a significant role in stabilising the actor’s life and career.
On the professional front, Sanjay Dutt was last seen in the comedy caper Housefull 5, which hit cinemas in June 2025. The film, directed by Tarun Mansukhani, saw him playing a quirky police officer in a star-studded ensemble.
He is now gearing up for Dhurandhar, a high-octane spy thriller helmed by Aditya Dhar, also starring Ranveer Singh, R Madhavan, Akshaye Khanna, and Arjun Rampal.
As Maanayata celebrates another year around the sun, the warmth of her family’s wishes speaks volumes about the love and admiration she commands both on and off the screen.
