The director of the 1991 film Saajan, Lawrence D’Souza, discusses how rumours about Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit’s alleged relationship circulate around their on-set interaction. In the account, D’Souza says Dutt would watch Dixit closely, including her screen close-ups, describing this as part of why the dating talk gained attention.
The reporting also references Dutt’s earlier public denial. Times of India notes that Dutt denied any affair in a 1993 interview and said Madhuri Dixit’s denial did not trouble him. It adds that he recalled apologising to her in the context of intense media scrutiny. The articles further mention that the actors later reunited professionally, including for the 2019 film Kalank.
Across the outlets, the core focus is D’Souza’s remarks and the surrounding media narrative. NDTV emphasizes how the alleged romance becomes a topic following Saajan’s release, while Times of India adds more detail on Dutt’s prior denial and his recollection of addressing Dixit during the controversy.
