Why Did Sridevi Refuse To Work With Sanjay Dutt?

As per reports, it was due to an incident that happened in 1983. Sridevi and Sanjay Dutt worked together in Mahesh Bhatt’s Gumrah which was a super hit. Audience loved the chemistry of Sanjay and Sridevi. Post Gumrah, they never worked in any film together. In fact, reports stated that even for the same film, Sridevi was not willing to work with the Sadak actor, but it was for the sake of her career, she agreed to do it.

Reportedly, it was during the shoot of Gumrah, Sridevi and Sanjay did not talk to each other on the sets, and the actress would leave after her shoot without even looking at her co-star Sanju.

It was in an interview with Filmfare, the Munna Bhai MBBS actor revealed that as he was a fan of Sridevi, he went to meet her in 1993 on the sets of Himmatwala. As he couldn’t find her on sets, he barged into her makeup room. He was drunk and seeing him in that condition, it left Sridevi shocked and scared and she shut the door in his face.
