No bash for Sanjay Dutt, Salman Khan’s off with Iulia Vantur

After spending close to three years in prison, Sanjay Dutt finally stepped out of Yerwada Jail in Pune on Thursday. And among all the appointments the actor had for the day was supposedly, a bash organised by Salman Khan in his honour. As rumours of the grand party made the rounds of B-town, more and more “details” emerged: That Salman would host it at his Panvel farmhouse, that it was going to be a lavish affair, and that the who’s who of the industry would attend.

However, we have learnt that the rumours of the party were just that — rumours, and completely unfounded. While there exists the closest of friendships between Salman and Sanjay — a bond that has stayed strong despite the many months Dutt has spent in prison (or perhaps because of it) — there was no such party planned by Salman.

A source close to the superstar informed us that Salman is not in the country. In fact, as these pictures clicked by a fan and shared on social media have shown, Salman is in Dubai, enjoying a getaway with rumoured girlfriend and Romanian beauty Iulia Vantur! The duo seems to be having a gala time shopping for expensive trinkets, trading affectionate hugs and kisses and taking in the sights.

“Salman of course has the highest regard for Sanjay, and had he been in town, he would certainly have planned something to celebrate Sanjay’s release. But as things stand, he is not even in India. So the reports of the party are not true,” our source said.
