Bride and prejudice

Tinsel town is abuzz with the news of Sanjay Dutt's marriage to Manyata - and now the withdrawal of the declaration of marriage. But not many know that Manyata aka Dilnawaz Shaikh aka Sara Khan has also acted in a film called Lovers Like Us opposite a smalltime actor Nimit Vaishnav, perhaps who nobody has heard about in Bollywood.

Manyata was known as Sara Khan around the same time and she was also called as Dilnawaz Khan, which apparently is her real name.

Our source says, "Manyata always wanted to be an actress and that is the reason she tried her hand in films. This film, Lovers Like Us was released sometime in May 2005 in small towns. The storyline of the film goes: a man and a woman run away from their respective spouses and fall deeply in love. It had Manyata credited as Sara Khan and was a true blue box-office disaster.


Around the same time Manyata, got an item song in Prakash Jha's film Gangajal and she thought that with this respectable banner, her film career would get that much-needed boost. However after that she met Sanjay Dutt through his friend Nitin Manmohan and they have been going around since then and got married earlier this month."

Our source further says, "Sanjay Dutt is aware of this film that Manyata has done and he has already bought the rights of the film for about Rs 20 lakh from a distributor. We've heard that he has also managed to remove all the DVD and VCDs of the film from the market. He obviously does not want a buzz to be created around the film."
