Don't expect a female Dutt to hit the silver screen. EVER: Sanjay Dutt

Trishala Dutt wants to pursue acting But dad Sanjay Dutt refuses

And that's just family tradition, by the way. It's nothing personal. Trishala Dutt was quoted a while back in a magazine as saying: "My dad has never said 'no' to me for Bollywood. Yes, I know he would not approve. But he does have a soft spot for me, so I think it will be okay later on."

Her dad, Sanjay, however, categorically says, "It's news to me. She hasn't discussed her future plans with me. Anyway, my dad would have been completely against her becoming an actress!"

It is known that Trishala has done her majors in criminal justice and has specialized in forensic science. However, few know that she also has dabbled in acting by taking short-term courses with the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute in New York.

Dutt says he won't encourage his daughter should she choose to become an actress. "I am not supportive of her becoming an actress, " he says, adding, "In the Dutt family line, women have never been actresses - including my sisters Namrata and Priya.

My mom (Nargis) gave up acting when she got married and was a devoted mother and housewife and so was Richa (his first wife)."

A source close to Dutt adds, "Sanju is very clear about Trishala notjoining films. He says his dad never allowed daughters Priya and Namrata to become actresses.

The late Dutt Sr's wife Nargis was a great actress but once she became a Dutt she left her career at her peak.

The same thing happened with Trishala's mother Richa. Whatever little career she had, she had to give up once she became Mrs Dutt. Sanju never allowed Maanayata to pursue an acting career even when they were dating."

Namrata's daughters Sanchi and Sia don't harbour filmi aspirations either. The Dutts have always been very conscious about this and the rule has been laid down for the Dutt women right from the beginning " no acting career.

Sanju has even told Maanayata that if they have a daughter, she has to know right from the beginning that an acting career is not an option.

Nargis was such a beautiful and powerful actress.

I do not think it is justified to suppress the talent line of X - chromosome

Where do men like Sanjay Dutt get off on telling women not to be actresses when they have closet full of skeletons waiting to spill out themselves. 🤪 Good thing Madhuri dumped his hide before it was too late.

I think either she'll listen to him or ignore him like the Kapoor sisters did.

I can understand that parents want what's best for their children. And fathers are usually protective over their daughters. But I fail to understand why Sanjay Dutt holds such negative thoughts about his daughter entering the industry. Is he not a part of the film faternity? So why is it different for him, because he's a man? And what if his daughter has a genuine passion for acting, is he going to tell her to kill her desire for it? It's ridiculous! If he loves his daughter, he will let her choose her own path.

Firstly, I am a bit apalled that Sanju being a man of the 21st century whose broken every rule in the book is such a sexist! He clearly is saying that if he and Manyata have a son he would allow him to act but, if they have a daughter she will not act, that's a bit disgusting.

Secondly, Trishala has lived 80% of her life with her maternal family due to Sanju being a druggie and of course an inmate at mumbai central jail. True, she loves her father but she is an educated woman who can choose to do whatever she wants. I understand fathers are protective of their daughters but to suppress her talent because she is a girl is a thing of the last century.

Oh Sanju baba when will you grow up?
