The fast of Karva Chauth is observed by Indian housewives for the long life of their husbands. The wives fast throughout the day and break it upon seeing the moon and their husband's face through a sieve in the evening.
We hear Manyata is observing the rituals of the festival and will visit the jail in Pune to see her husband Sanjay Dutt.
She was earlier supposed to visit Dutt at the start of this month, but changed the plan to visit him on Karva Chauth instead.
Sanjay Dutt is serving a five-year jail sentence for illegal possession of weapons in the 1993 Mumbai blasts case. He had already served one-and-a-half-year sentence prior to his imprisonment in Yerawada in May last year. He's now slated to serve three-and-a-half years, more than a year of which is already through.
Sanjay Dutt and Manayata Dutt have two children: son Shahraan and daughter Iqra.
