    Dutt married actor Richa Sharma in 1987 and they had a daughter in 1988. Public accounts describe a later separation amid her cancer treatment; Sharma died of a brain tumour in 1996. Exact legal separation/divorce timing is not consistently documented in the sources reviewed.

  2. 1998 — 2008

    Rhea Pillai

    divorced · Confirmed

    Dutt married model Rhea Pillai in 1998. A 2008 court report says they had lived separately for about eight years, filed a mutual-consent petition in January 2008 citing irreconcilable differences, and obtained a decree after the waiting period was waived. Some later secondary summaries give 2005 as a separation/divorce year, but the contemporaneous legal report supports 2008 as the decree date.
