New Delhi: Sanjay Dutt, who recently gave a powerful performance in his comeback film Bhoomi, keeps on posting pictures with his wife and kids.

The 57-year-old actor has a beautiful Maanyata and two children- Iqra and Shahraan with her.

According to a Pinkvilla report originally attributed to a leading daily's weekly magazine, Sanjay and Maanyata spoke about the former's jail term at length.

Here's what His wife, Maanayata said reportedly-

"Even before he went to jail, he would be out on the shoot and the kids were never really used to seeing him at home all the time. Still seeing Sanjay with the kids now, I am realizing that I could not have filled the void his absence created. When we were planning for our Italy trip. The way he interacted with the kids, the way the kids bargained for pocket money with him, suddenly made me acutely aware of how important he is to them. After they left, I told him I never expected him to be this good at being a dad!"

Maanayata also said that the twins aren't aware of the fact that their father had to serve a jail term. Here's what she further said according to the report-

"They are still too young to understand what happened.Shahraan’s dad is his hero, his role model, he idolises him. I worry about two things. First, it could be too much of a shock for him; he might not be able to justify what had happened or understand why it happened. Second, he might start thinking whatever his dad did back then was cool. We don’t want either to happen. They should know that their father was wrong and he has paid a heavy price for that. Not many people would have the courage to own up to what they had done and face the consequences. I want them to understand how it happened, why it happened, and how Sanju took it in his stride. But they are still too young for all that and we don’t want to burden their childhood."
