Sanjay Dutt has opened up about his relationship with his daughter Trishala, reflecting on a period when the two experienced a disconnect and saying he is now proud of the person she has become. Dutt spoke about their relationship during an appearance on Shekhar Suman’s YouTube talk show Shekhar Tonite.
Trishala, 38, lives in New York, and Dutt said he recently spent time with her during a visit to the city. He described their current relationship as more connected, saying they now speak about both her work and his.
Dutt acknowledged that there had been a period of distance between them. He attributed the disconnect to several circumstances, including the fact that he did not have custody of Trishala, while describing that chapter as part of the past.
The actor also spoke warmly about the changes he has seen in his daughter over the years. He said he is “very, very proud” of her and highlighted the work she is doing in New York.
The conversation also brought attention to the emotional impact that prolonged separation can have on parent-child relationships. Psychotherapist Delnna Rrajesh, speaking to the publication, noted that circumstances such as separation, custody arrangements and migration can affect the everyday experiences through which parents and children build relationships.
The discussion around Dutt and Trishala’s relationship ultimately focuses less on recovering lost years and more on building a stronger relationship in the present. Their story highlights how family relationships can evolve over time, even after periods of distance.
