The acclaimed actress recently made a captivating appearance on Siddharth Kannan’s popular YouTube channel, where she candidly delved into her close relationship with veteran actor Sanjay Dutt and shed light on his persistent desire to see her happily married.
In a heartfelt revelation, Ameesha shared some endearing words from Sanjay Dutt himself, saying, ‘Ameesha, you are too good for this industry. Main nikal de raha hoon tujhko (I am pushing you out of this industry). You are too simple, too naive. Tu chal, main shaadi karvata hoon teri (You go on, I will get you married).’ She affectionately described how Sanjay had been on a mission for the past two decades, tirelessly searching for the perfect life partner for her. ‘He has been trying to find me the right match for 20 years,’ Ameesha revealed. ‘He always says, ‘Ye bachchi hai (she’s a kid), give her toys. This is the way to her heart.” Her words resonated with warmth and admiration for her dear friend.
Ameesha went on to share another touching aspect of their bond, as she disclosed Sanjay’s heartfelt wish to perform ‘kanyadaan,’ a sacred ritual in Hindu weddings where the father gives away his daughter in marriage, when she eventually ties the knot. ‘He tells this to everyone to impress me,’ she chuckled. ‘A couple of guys have approached me after hearing Sanjay’s intentions, but I have rejected them.’ With a smile, she continued, ‘Sanju always says, ‘Jab teri shaadi hogi na, kanyadaan mein karunga (I will perform kanyadaan when you get married), and I will be very happy when you get married. Your kids will play with my kids.’ He is like one of those guys,’ she concluded, emphasizing the genuine warmth and affection between them.
