Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt has jetted into Dubai alongside his wife Maanayata to visit his two children.
The star is currently taking a break from acting as he undergoes treatment for lung cancer. He announced his health news to his 2.2 million Twitter followers in August, urging well-wishers not to worry.
“Hi friends. I am taking a short break from work for some medical treatment. My family and friends are with me and I urge my well-wishers not to worry or unnecessarily speculate. With your love and good wishes, I will be back soon,” the tweet read.
However, the star is said to have made a brief return to the studio last week to wrap up his scenes in upcoming film Shamshera.
And on Tuesday evening, Dutt and Maanayata left Mumbai for a private charter flight to Dubai, where they are said to be taking a 10-day family vacation to spend time with their children Shahraan and Iqra, who have remained in the emirate while their father has undergone medical treatment in India.
On Wednesday morning, Maanayata posted a photo of the pair onboard a private jet, alongside the caption: “en route life.” She also shared a picture of a coffee which featured Dutt’s face made from foam.
The couple were pictured leaving their Mumbai home by waiting paparazzi. Dutt spoke briefly to photographers to remind them to wear their masks for their own safety.
Indian entertainment magazine Filmfare reported that Dutt will receive medical treatment during his time in Dubai. However, sources close to the actor told the Mumbai Mirror that this was simply a personal trip to visit family.
