It is a known piece of flying rumour that superstars Madhuri Dixit and Sanjay Dutt were always linked up in the media. Their on-screen chemistry was reportedly translating into a romance off-screen as well. While the two never expressed anything, a lot of Bollywood insiders claimed that the actors were more than just friends.

In 1993, after a lot was being written about their alleged affair, Sanjay Dutt had to actually apologise to Madhuri after the news of an affair was making headlines constantly. In an interview, he mentioned what happened.

“This story broke out around the time of Saajan. In fact, when the story broke out in the press, she was shooting for Khel in Kenya. So, when we had a schedule of Saajan after that, I went up and said sorry to her. Because she was under public scrutiny for no fault of her own. She took it well.” Addressing the rumours around them getting married, he had said, “There has to be something in between us for me to marry her.”

However, according to a report in DNA, his first wife knew that the two were dating and she even mentioned how being dumped would shatter him. “At every point in his life, he needs someone he can lean on emotionally. Like he was dependent on Madhuri. Now that she has ditched him, he is going to be a shattered man."

Later in an interview, when reports of Madhuri ignoring him started doing the rounds, the actor brushed it off. “I didn't get affected by her statement. I have been her colleague and I have done a lot of films with her. See, I need to establish a proper rapport with all my co-stars, it may be Madhuri or Sridevi. For instance, during the first few days of Gumraah I wasn't comfortable, because you know how Sridevi is. She is aloof and I had to get talking to her. So what Madhuri said didn't bother me that much, in fact it didn't bother me at all,” he said. The actors have obviously moved on and the two shared screen space in Kalank in 2019.
