Sanjay and Madhuri had worked in many films like Khatron Ke Khiladi,Thanedaar, Saajan, Khalnayak, Sahibaan and Mahaanta etc.
That was the time when Madhuri talked fondly about Dutt in her interviews. Although noone ever said anything openly but their attraction for each other can be felt from their behavior.
