Sanjay Dutt has finally married Manyata.
A half-page advertisement in the 88-page special edition Saamna newspaper, which congratulated Sena chief Bal Thackeray on his 82nd birthday today, mentions the names of those greeting Thackeray as 'Sanjay Dutt and Manyata Dutt' instead of her surname, Shaikh Dilnawaz.
The ad says, 'Wishing a very happy birthday to Hindu Hriday Samrat' Shri Balasaheb Thackeray from Sanjay Dutt and Manyata Dutt.'

The Dutts have always been on good terms with the Thackerays, ever since the Sena chief intervened and bailed out Dutt from jail in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blasts case. In fact, after he came out of jail in 1995, he went straight to Thackeray's home to thank him.
According to Bollywood sources, the duo had a low-profile registered marriage in the presence of a few family members and close friends.
Though his sisters Priya, Namrata and other family friends remained unreachable on their mobile phones, sources said that the marriage has been kept under wraps since Dutt has been sentenced to a jail term. He is presently out on bail.
"It would appear inappropriate to celebrate a marriage with him behind bars," one of his Bollywood friends said.
Dutt was always expected to tie the knot with Manyata alias Dilhaaz Shaikh, once an innocuous Bollywood item girl, who has been seen with him during the highs and lows in his personal and professional lives.
Ever since the star, convicted in the 1993 Mumbai bomb blast case, was released from his latest jail stint in November last year, Manyata has been constantly seen with him at all public events, including his film shoots.
Manyata has reportedly become so possessive of late that not only Dutt's friends, even his sisters cannot walk into his apartment and talk to him without her remaining within earshot.
Sources said the couple is now planning to shift out of their Mumbai apartment building Imperial Heights to guard their privacy.
