Life

She was born to a Bengali father, Ranjan Dutt, an air vice marshal in the Indian Air Force, and Claude Marie Dutt De Cavey, a Belgian.[3]

Ayesha contested as the Miss Young World contest at Manila.[4] She did not make it to the finals, but was elected the most popular girl at the contest by her fellow contestants. She began her career as a model and became successful.

She acted in a Bollywood film Teri Baahon Mein opposite Mohnish Bahl in 1984.[5]

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. The Shroffs have two children.[6] Her elder child is also a Bollywood actor, Tiger Shroff (born 1990) and a daughter, Krishna Shroff (born 1993).[7]

In 2009, Dutt had an alleged affair with Sahil Khan when the two started a production company together.[8] 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.[9]
