Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta, acclaimed for directing films such as 'Kaante' and 'Shootout at Lokhandwala', died on October 30 in Mumbai. He was 57 and succumbed to a head injury sustained at his residence after an accidental fall.
Gupta's personal life was as dramatic as his films, notably his relationship with Anuradha (Anu) Lekhi Gupta. They married in 1997, divorced in 2003, but remarried in 2009, a testament to their enduring bond.
In candid interviews, Gupta revealed that his first marriage's breakdown was partly due to his involvement with the underworld, which forced him to conceal details from Anu. His personal struggles, including drinking and womanizing, also strained their relationship.
Despite separations and other relationships, Gupta maintained his love for Anu, whom he described as his soulmate. Their reconciliation culminated in a second wedding ceremony in 2009.
