Director Lawrence D'Souza said he was unaware of any romance between Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit while directing Saajan, despite later rumours about the co-stars. He recalled Dutt watching Dixit's close-up scenes through the camera but said he did not think anything of it then. D'Souza added that he only learnt of their reported breakup from later news reports.

Actors Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit's rumoured romance was one of the most-talked-about relationships in the early 90s. Reportedly, the love blossomed between them during the shooting of the 1991 release Saajan. The movie was directed by Lawrence D'Souza, and recently, in an interview, he opened up about the rumoured romance between them.

While talking to Vickey Lalwani about Sanjay and Madhuri, Lawrence said that during the shooting of the film, they were so involved in it that they didn't notice if there was something going on between the two actors. However, he said that when Madhuri's close-up scenes were shot, Sanjay would come and watch them.

He said, “I was the cameraman as well as the director, so sometimes he would look through the camera when I was shooting Madhuri's close-ups. He would watch her, but I never really thought about whether or not anything was happening.”

When the filmmaker was asked about their breakup post Sanjay's 1993 controversy, Lawrence just said that he came to know about it through the news.
