Ayesha Dutt (born 5 June 1960[1]), also known by her married name Ayesha Shroff, is an Indian film producer, and former model and actress.[2][3] She is married to Bollywood actor Jackie Shroff and mother of Tiger Shroff and Krishna Shroff.

Early life

Dutt was born to a Bengali father, Air Vice Marshal Ranjan Dutt, an Indian Air Force officer and Vir Chakra awardee, and Claude Marie Dutt De Cavey, a Belgian.[4]

Ayesha contested as the Miss Young World contest at Manila.[5]

She acted in a Bollywood film Teri Baahon Mein alongside Mohnish Bahl in 1984.[6]

Personal life

Dutt married her longtime boyfriend and Bollywood actor, Jackie Shroff on her birthday on 5 June 1987. She later turned into a film producer. The couple run a media company, Jackie Shroff Entertainment Limited. They jointly owned 10% shares in Sony TV since its launch until 2012 when they sold their stake and ended their 15-year-long association with Sony TV. She has two children, Tiger Shroff (born 1990), a Bollywood actor, and a daughter, Krishna Shroff (born 1993), a film maker and social media personality.[7][8]

In 2009, Dutt had an alleged affair with Sahil Khan when the two started a production company together.[9] The alleged relationship of the two and their business partnership took an ugly turn later in 2014 when she filed a legal case against him. In return, the actor's lawyer submitted some intimate photos to the court, which had both Sahil and Ayesha in a compromising situation implying there was much more than just professional commitment between the two.[10]
