Ayesha Dutt (born 5 June 1960) is an Indian film producer, former model, and actress.[1][2] She is married to Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff and the mother of Tiger Shroff.
Life[edit | edit source]
She was born to a Bengali father, Ranjan Dutt, an air vice marshal in the Indian Air Force, and Claude Marie Dutt De Cavey, a Belgian.[3]
Ayesha contested the Miss Young World contest in Manila.[4] She did not make it to the finals, but was elected the most popular girl at the contest by her fellow contestants. She began her career as a model and became successful.
She acted in a Bollywood film Teri Baahon Mein opposite Mohnish Bahl in 1984.[5]
Personal life[edit | edit source]
Dutt married her longtime boyfriend and Bollywood actor, Jackie Shroff on her birthday on 5 June 1987. She later turned into a film producer. The couple run a media company, Jackie Shroff Entertainment Limited. They jointly owned 10% shares in Sony TV since its launch until 2012 when they sold their stake and ended their 15-year-long association with Sony TV. The Shroffs have two children.[6] Her elder child is also a Bollywood actor, Tiger Shroff (born 1990), and a daughter, Krishna Shroff (born 1993).[7]
In 2009, Dutt had an alleged affair with Sahil Khan when the two started a production company together.[8] The alleged relationship of the two and their business partnership took an ugly turn later in 2014 when she filed a legal case against him. In return, the actor's lawyer submitted some intimate photos to the court, which had both Sahil and Ayesha in a compromising situation, implying there was much more than just a professional commitment between the two.[9]
