Bollywood legendary star Sanjay Dutt's daughter, Trishala Dutt, opened up about how family issues harmed her mental health in a recent social media update.

On Monday, August 25, the 37-year-old  model took to her official Instagram account to upload a cryptic note, which reads, “Not everyone who shares your blood deserves a place in your life. Sometimes, the most draining, invalidating, and dismissive people we know carry the title ‘family.’

“You’re allowed to protect your peace. You’re allowed to go low-contact or no contact. You’re allowed to choose your mental health over preserving the family image,” she went on to add.

Furthermore, she emphasised that even if someone belongs to your family, they are still not allowed to cause you pain.

Notably, Sanjay shares his firstborn with his late wife, Richa Sharma,  with whom he tied the knot in 1987. 

Shortly after a year of their marriage, the former couple welcomed their daughter,   Trishala, on August 10, 1988.

It's pertinent to note that, at a very young age, she lost her mother due to a brain tumour in 1996 and was brought up by her maternal grandparents in the US.
