Kangna Ranaut is no longer a welcome guest at Sanjay Dutt residence

Kangna Ranaut and the Dutts have drifted apart. The actress has been telling friends that she doesn't consider Sanjay and Maanayata family.

A friend of the Dutts confirms, "Reports of her distancing herself from the couple have disturbed them. And whatever she is saying about them has come as a rude shock to them.

They won't be inviting her to their home anymore. In any case, she had never been as close to them as she claimed. It was always Ameesha Patel who was Maana's close friend."

The fact that the Dutts did not attend Kangna's birthday bash recently was a clear-cut message. The source reveals, "An extremely upset Kangna kept calling Maana till midnight."

The Dutts' friend adds that Maana helped the actress with everything from paying less for a flat in Bandra to arranging a trip for her.

Yet, Kangna hasn't even gone to meet Maanayata or her babies even once. She attends the Dutts' public functions as it suits her to be seen with them when the media is around.

Maanayata wasn't even invited to her Tanu Weds Manu trial. The first time they met in months was on the sets of Rascals recently."

Role calling

The friend feels that the actress grew close to them as she knew the actor was launching Sanjay Dutt Productions and wanted to star in his projects.

"She signed Rascals opposite Sanju and Ajay Devgn which led to more A-grade films in her kitty. She considers Rascals as her big ticket."

The Dutts and Kangna remained unavailable for comment.

The common link

Sanjay Dutt and Kangna Ranaut share the same business manager Dharam Oberoi (who's also CEO of Sanjay Dutt Production).

"Dharam is upset by Kangna's statements. He's in Hong Kong with Dutt, who's shooting for Dhamaal 2. He feels miserable and tells people it was a mistake taking on Kangna's work. He has told people that his allegiance is to Sanju."
