Dutts not the way to do it!

Trishala got to know of it only at 3 am on February 11 when a TV reporter asked her to comment on the wedding. Imagine the shock.

After hanging up on the TV reporter, she called her father who confirmed the wedding. According to a source Sanju wasn't concerned about her reaction. He was more worried about her talking to the media. He forbade her to talk to the Press.

The 20-year-old seems to have gone into a shell since hearing the news. It was only recently that Trishala got really close to her father. It was when he was going through hell with the sentence hanging over his head that he promised Trishala that when all is well he would make up for all the lost time. That they could be a family at last. Trishala pinned all her hopes on their conversations and dreamed of staying with her dad in Mumbai. When Trishala had heard about Manyata coming into his life, he had assured her that nothing would change between daughter and father. Sanju had also assured Trishala that he had no plans of getting married for the third time.

But what shook her most is the news of Manyata being pregnant. Apparently, she told Dutt on her last trip that she wants to be his only child and she would be very upset if he became a dad again. She adores her dad and since she doesn't have a mom, is very possessive about him. She feels that their relationship is still in the developing stages, as she has never lived with him. She doesn't want to share him with a sibling. Trishala was planning to come down in December but is now having second thoughts.

The insider says that it's not just the Dutt sisters who feel that Manyata hasn't made the effort to get along with the family; Trishala too feels that her relationship with her dad started changing ever since she lived with him at his Bandra flat on her last trip. She feels he has changed a lot and he barely keeps in touch with her. Trishala refused to comment on this though. “Please leave me out of this. I don't have anything to say,” was her brief and hurt reply to the media.

Sanjay Dutt's sister Namrata also hasn't spoken to Sanjay Dutt or his new wife Manyata since the wedding. Even though sisters Namrata and Priya live in the same building, the actor sent them an invite for his wedding on an SMS a few hours before the wedding. The preparations had been on for long and his friends abroad had received personal calls two weeks in advance. The sisters felt sad about the impersonal invitation and skipped the wedding entirely.

Namrata confirmed that Trishala is upset with dad Sanju. “Yes. I have spoken to Trishala. I guess she must be upset but her grandparents and aunt are wonderful people. They love Trishala and are taking care of her. They have tried to explain to the child that Sanju must be lonely and if Manyata's taking care of him that's most important. However, I heard that Trishala came to know about the marriage through TV. She is his daughter and I don't understand why Sanju or Manyata could not pick up the phone and inform her themselves, after all she is his daughter. That was very bad,” she said.

But personally she wasn't shocked when she got to know of the wedding via a message from Sanju at 1 am on February 10. “And the wedding has happened earlier, right? I had heard through friends that they got married two years ago at a ceremony at Sanju's home."

Priya and Namrata also got to know about Manyata's pregnancy from TV channels but they said that they would never question him about his personal life. “We love Sanju, have always been with him in his time of need, even if I might not understand what he does. He knows his entire family is, and will always be there for him.”

Strange that Sanjay is trying to keep his distance from his family now. When the book was being released he was constantly with his sisters and even went to Delhi with them and took Manyata along everywhere.

Says a close source of the family, “ Can you not see his clever ploy? At that point he needed all the good publicity and family image possible. He needed to look like the good family boy. He needed the public sympathy. So he behaved all coy and went along with the sympathy wave. Sanjay has always been a selfish boy or rather man (he's almost 50), but somehow he always got away with everything showing the public a totally different face and constantly doing the Sanju baba act! Sanjay will always live his life on his own terms. He has never thought of any of his family before (when he was in trouble of course he used them), so why are people expecting him to think of anyone but himself now?”
