#FlashbackFriday: Trishala's open letter to father Sanjay Dutt!

It's no secret anymore that Bollywood's Casanova Sanjay Dutt got married three times and had many girlfriends. First he was married to Richa Sharma in October 1987 and later he was married to Rhea Pillai in 1998. Sanjay-Richa was blessed with baby girl- Trishala Dutt.

Sanjay faced many difficulties in life and he was allegedly accused of being a terrorist and he had to serve imprisonment. Along with him even his family members had to suffer and it did take a toll on everybody around him. However, Trishala had to face many problems and could hardly spend time with her father. Although, it wasn't the only thing which might have affected her. Adding to previous issues she faced, Sanjay and Rhea got divorced in 2005. She later went on to marry tennis ace Leander Paes while the 59-year-old actor tied the knot with Manyata Dutt.

Trishala stayed with her maternal grandparents all her life. Around 2007, when news about Sanjay dating small-time actress Manyata started doing the rounds, Trishala wrote an open letter to daddy dukes, requesting him to not marry anyone. 

The letter read: "I don't want you to get married to anybody. I may sound selfish, but it's my love that's speaking. I haven't ever discussed this with you. I don't know why, but I have a strong hunch that people use you for the wrong reasons... And you are naive not to understand. But I can see through all the games that women play to win you over. I am a girl, Dad, and I know how to extract anything from a guy. I just have to smile and act like a lost babe in the woods. But I am not one and I know exactly what I want. So please don't get fooled by these acts. You don't need any other women in your life now. One woman in your life, and that's me, is good enough... I will be there with you all the time. I want to move back to Mumbai just to be with you. So please hang on."

Seems like life wasn't fair for Trishala, but she tried her best to resolve their conflicts. Sanjay obviously married Manyata, had twins Iqra and Shahraan, and Trishala didn't visit India ever since.
