Trishala Dutt, daughter of Bollywood actor Sanjay Dutt, has stirred widespread attention online after posting a cryptic Instagram story, one that many interpret as a candid reflection on strained family dynamics. Without naming anyone specifically, Trishala shared a deeply personal note highlighting the emotional challenges that can arise even within familial relationships. Her story read:
“Not everyone who shares your blood deserves a place in your life. Sometimes, the most draining, invalidating, and dismissive people we know carry the title ‘family.’ You’re allowed to protect your peace. You’re allowed to go low-contact, or no contact. You’re allowed to choose your mental health over preserving the family image. Because ‘family’ is not a free pass to mistreat, manipulate, or guilt-trip you. You DO NOT owe continued access to anyone who keeps hurting you even if they raised you.” Trishala concluded the post: “When a parent cares more about how the family appears to the world than how it actually feels to live in it, that’s a problem.”
While she has not clarified whom the message is directed at, the timing of the post has led to speculation. The story comes shortly just days after Trishala had shared a warm post for her father’s birthday, writing, “Love you more each day.
Years ago, Sanjay Dutt had openly stated that he would not support Trishala pursuing a career in films. In an interview with The Times of India, he said, “I am not encouraging my daughter to do films at all. It never happens with the Dutts. My sisters or my niece could have been in the movies too, but that is not the way my father raised us. This is the way he wanted it. She is keen, but then she has studied forensic science, which is also a great career option.”
Trishala, later responded to her father’s remarks, saying: “Ultimately, the decision is mine. I will do what I think is best for me and what makes me happy.” Trishala Dutt is Sanjay Dutt’s daughter from his first marriage to actress Richa Sharma, who passed away in 1996 following a battle with brain cancer.
