Looks like Sanjay Dutt will be spending more time in Dubai than in Mumbai. He has been referring to the desert emirate as his new home after receiving a golden visa for the UAE, which enables foreigners to live in the country without a national sponsor. Wife Maanayata and children, Iqra and Shahraan, relocated over a year ago. Dutt will fly down for his film commitments or when he is missing his close bunch of Bandra pals. Knowing Sanju, it will be often. He is fiercely protective of them. They have stood by him during his worst times.

On Wednesday, Sanjay Dutt had expressed gratitude to the government of UAE on receiving a golden visa for the United Arab Emirates (UAE). "It's an honour to receive the prestigious Visa. I'm grateful to the government of UAE for their never-ending support considering Dubai became a home for my family in the past year. The Golden Visa initiative by the leaders is truly visionary, it has helped the country grow as an investor-friendly nation and I'm sure it will continue to do so in the coming years. I vow to help the country whenever they are in need since that's what our true purpose as humans is, to help each other grow," Dutt shared.
