Ayesha Dutt (born 5 June 1960), also known by her married name Ayesha Shroff, is an Indian film producer, and former model and actress. She is the wife of 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.

Ayesha contested as the Miss Young World contest at Manila.

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

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.

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