While speaking to Movie Magazine in 1993, when Sanjay Dutt was asked if Richa Sharma's illness is the reason behind their divorce, he had said, "These accusations are false. I'm not that kind of a man, who stops loving his wife if she loses her hair."

These allegations are made up to evoke a reaction from me. The kind of encouragement I have given Richa, I don't think anybody else has."

Speaking of her, Sanjay Dutt had said, "Basically, it's her (Richa) sister, who's doing all the talking and has created a lot of bad blood between us. So, it's a problem between a husband and a wife. If there has to be some compromises, it has to be between Richa and me. Who the hell is she to interfere?"

"She would keep asking me, ‘Why do you need to work till 10 in the night? I don't like the pattern of your work. Why can't you come home at 8'o clock?'"

"Look, she has been an actress herself. She knows how the industry works. People feel that our marriage suffered because Richa fell seriously ill. On the contrary, I thought her illness would bring us together. But her family spoilt it."

When asked about the same, he replied, "See, I have had a bad experience and I am scared of marriage now." My daughter was kept away from me. I miss her so much. I used to write to Richa's father, he'd kept quiet. How much do you want me to take - they pushed me against the wall. So, my attitude is now f*** them."

Cut to present, Sanjay Dutt is happily married to Maanayata and the duo has been raising together two children - Shahraan & Iqra. Whereas, Trishala stays in US along with her maternal grandparents.
