Saajan Director Reflects on Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit's Romance Rumours
The 1991 film Saajan, starring Sanjay Dutt, Madhuri Dixit, and Salman Khan, was a commercial success and sparked rumours of a romance between Dutt and Dixit. Director Lawrence D'Souza recalled that the cast and crew were focused on filming and largely unaware of the speculation. He noted Sanjay Dutt occasionally watched Madhuri Dixit's close-ups through the camera but did not confirm any relationship. D'Souza also acknowledged reports of their breakup following Dutt's 1993 arrest but had no personal insight.
