The latest reports suggest that Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt has married his long time girl friend Manyata secretly. It is well known that both were seeing each other for some time now. Sanjay Dutt had admitted in the past that Manyata held a special place in his life.

Things are out in open now with a prominent half-page color advertisement given by Sanjay Dutt and Manyata in Maratha daily "Saamna". They greeted Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray on his 82nd birthday in the newspaper advertisement with a caption "Sanjay Dutt and Manyata Dutt" in Marathi.

According to bollywood sources, Sanjay and Manyata had a low-profile wedding in a civil court in the presence of a few family members and close friends. It could be recalled that Sanjay's daughter Trishala was opposed to this marriage. Neither Sanjay nor his sisters confirmed the news.

After India's Twenty20 World Cup triumph, there have been talks on a possible affair between M S Dhoni and the hot and gorgeous Deepika Padukone. She was also linked to Ranbir Kapoor and Nihar. However, all those talks turned out to be rumors, as Yuvraj Singh finally entered Deepika's life.

Recently, Yuvraj and Deepika were seen in a night club. Deepika also hosted Yuvraj's birth day party on December 19. Currently, Deepika is in Sydney at the invitation of Yuvraj to watch the ongoing test series between India and Australia. Reports suggest that Yuvraj has paid for Deepika's trip. More significantly, Deepika will celebrate her Birthday on Jan 5 with Yuvraj Singh. Do we need more proof to guess what's going on?

Yuvraj Singh dated Bollywood actress Kim Sharma for a while. His sudden interest in Deepika Padukone has surprised everyone. Let's see how far their new relationship goes. Both have achieved stardom in their respective fields. Deepika's success in a short period is laudable. Interestingly, she has achieved it in just one film. "Deepika Padukone" has become a buzzword among youth not for her acting skills, but for her charismatic personality, killer looks and cute smile.
