Personal life
Manyata Dutt was born to a Muslim family on July 22, 1979 as Dilnawaz Sheikh in Mumbai. She was brought up in Dubai. She was known as Sara Khan in film industry. After her launch in Prakash Jha's Gangajal, she was given the screen name Manyata by Jha but her aspirations to become a star ended when her father died leaving the responsibility of family business on her.
Manyata got married to one of the biggest stars in India, Sanjay Dutt on February 7, 2008 in a private ceremony in Goa. After two years she became the mother of twins, a boy named Shahraan and a girl named Iqra on October 21, 2010.
Career
Prior to her first marriage and before she met Dutt, Manyata worked in a C-grade film, Lovers Like Us, opposite a small time actor Nimit Vaishnav. She had hoped that an item number in Gangaajal would give her career a boost after a series of unsuccessful B-grade films, but then Manyata met Sanjay Dutt and decided to leave her dream of acting.
