But behind the camera, their personal bond hit turbulence when Sanjay was arrested in connection with the 1993 Mumbai blasts. According to senior author and film historian Hanif Zaveri, the arrest created a clear divide between the two stars \u2014 one that played out in a very public way.<\/p>\n<p>The party she quietly skipped<\/p>\n<p>Zaveri recalled an incident from a party organised by Mahaanta director Afzal Khan shortly after Sanjay\u2019s release on bail. The event was meant to be a media spectacle, presenting <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/topic\/madhuri\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Madhuri<\/a> and Sanjay together for the first time post-arrest.\u201cThere was a stage on one side, and a table with chairs on the other. Madhuri entered with her secretary and a few others, but instead of heading to the stage, they sat near me,\u201d Zaveri told Meri Saheli.He continued, \u201cI noticed they seemed anxious, and assumed they would eventually join the cast. But Madhuri and her group got up and left. All the photographers were waiting for that first photo of Madhuri and Sanjay together. I knew why she left \u2014 she didn\u2019t want to be photographed with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dying Fan Gifts Sanjay Dutt \u20b972 Cr | His Unexpected Reaction Breaks The Internet<\/p>\n<p>Family pressures and personal fears<\/p>\n<p>The historian also offered context on Madhuri\u2019s personal life at the time. Her mother had been eager for her to settle down, first suggesting singer Suresh Wadkar and later doctor Sriram Nene. But Madhuri\u2019s priority was safety and distance amid Sanjay\u2019s legal troubles.\u201cShe was afraid she would be investigated too,\u201d Zaveri explained. Despite the fallout, Madhuri and Sanjay eventually reunited on screen decades later in Kalank, proving that while time may heal some wounds, certain memories remain vivid in Bollywood\u2019s history.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Dutt were among Bollywood\u2019s most talked-about pairs during the early \u201990s, having shared the&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":55255,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[146,41545,85,46,41546,1556,41548,41551,41544,41550,41549,41547],"class_list":{"0":"post-55254","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-entertainment","9":"tag-hanif-zaveri","10":"tag-il","11":"tag-israel","12":"tag-madhuri","13":"tag-madhuri-dixit","14":"tag-madhuri-dixit-sanjay-dutt","15":"tag-madhuri-sanjay-dutt-affair","16":"tag-sanjay-dutt","17":"tag-sanjay-dutt-jail-time","18":"tag-sanjay-dutt-madhuri-dixit-relationship","19":"tag-sriram-nene"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55254","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=55254"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/55254\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/55255"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=55254"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=55254"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=55254"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
