Maanayata Dutt shares glimpse of Sanjay Dutt's FIFA World Cup family night with twins
Mumbai, July 20
Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt's wife Maanayata Dutt gave fans a heartwarming glimpse into a cosy family game night as the actor watched the FIFA World Cup 2026 final with his twins, Shahraan and Iqra.
Taking to her social media account, Maanayata shared a couple of videos from the family's living room. The clip showed the match playing on a giant television as the family watched the nail-biting encounter between Argentina and Spain.
Sanjay Dutt was seen relaxing in an armchair dressed in an all-white outfit. As the camera panned towards him, the actor called daughter Iqra, who was seated behind him on the couch.
Iqra immediately leaned in beside her father and they both smiled and posed for the video.
During the match, Shahraan could also be heard enthusiastically cheering after a goal.
She captioned the story, "Family game night," along with the flags of Argentina and Spain.
For the uninitiated, the FIFA World Cup 2026 final was held at the New York New Jersey Stadium (MetLife Stadium) in East Rutherford, New Jersey, where Spain defeated defending champions.
Talking about Sanjay and Maanayata's love story, it began in the mid-2000s through common friends.
The couple tied the knot in a private ceremony in Goa on February 7, 2008.
In October 2010, they welcomed twins, son Shahraan and daughter Iqra.
Apart from Shahraan and Iqra, Sanjay is also father to daughter Trishala Dutt from his first marriage to late actress Richa Sharma. Trishala lives in the United States and shares a close bond with her father despite the distance.
Earlier this year, on Father's Day, Sanjay surprised Trishala by flying to the U.S. to spend time with her.

Nice to see the veteran chilling with family. But honestly, I am more curious about who won the final? The article says Spain defeated defending champions but doesn't mention which team was defending! 🤔
Love how normal this feels - just a family watching football together. So different from the masala images we usually see of stars. Also, Iqra leaning in for that photo with her dad was such a cute moment!
Nothing beats family time like this. And it's great that Trishala also stays connected despite living abroad - that Father's Day visit Sanjay made to the US was really sweet. Good to see peace in a star's personal life for a change.
I wish the article had actually mentioned which team won! But anyway, this is precious content. Watching the World Cup final with your kids must be such a core memory for the twins. And Sanjay looking relaxed in all white - that's a vibe.
It's refreshing when celebrities share such simple, authentic moments instead of always posting about work or parties. Maanayata keeps the family's life grounded. Also, the twins are growing up fast! 📈❤️
