For the first time since their marriage, Maanyata left for a Vaishnodevi pilgrimage on Friday sans husband Sanjay Dutt. Apparently, Sanju is still in the mood to party and begged off.
Says a source, "Maanyata is accompanied by some gal pals for three days. Initially, Sanjay, who never says no to Maana, agreed.
But then she saw his heart was set on being with his buddies, so she didn't insist.
The three non-film friends are Dutt's closest confidantes. He rarely gets the chance to meet them because of his busy schedule."
Adds the source, "Ideally, Maanayata would've wanted her husband to pray. But since he was in the mood to play, she let him be. There's a perception that she has been alienating her husband from his pals. She wants to end that."
