Sanjay Dutt to tie the knot with companion of 3 years, Nadia Durrani

Times News Network
MUMBAI: After receiving the long-pending verdict on his role in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case on Tuesday, Sanjay Dutt has decided to tie the knot with his companion of three years, Nadia Durrani.

Nadia has constantly been by the actor's side, along with his sister Priya Dutt and brother-in-law Kumar Gaurav. An actor, on condition of anonymity, says, "Sanju has always been serious about Nadia, but he didn't commit to her because he was not sure about the verdict. Now, he feels that he can take it easy. So he spoke to Nadia on Tuesday night itself, and assured her that they would marry some time next year."

"Sanju is a very emotional person, and he will never let go of any relationship that is close to his heart. He has always stood by his friends and he is very fond of Nadia," says the actor, adding that Nadia was present at Dutt's bungalow to wish him luck on Tuesday.

Dutt has been spotted at several nightclubs with Nadia. Mumbai Mirror carried a report a few months ago which confirmed that they were considering marriage. Dutt met Nadia three years ago in Lahore. Our source reveals, "The two were first spotted together in Mumbai enjoying a cosy meal together on a Sunday night, at a celebrity gathering for the Pakistani Food Festival at a suburban five-star hotel." There, Dutt introduced Nadia to everyone as his girlfriend from Pakistan. Dutt kept his affair with her under wraps for a long time, but now seems to be more comfortable about it.
