Personal life

Dutt married her longtime boyfriend and Bollywood actor, Jackie Shroff on her birthday on 5 June 1987. She later turned into a film producer. The couple run a media company, Jackie Shroff Entertainment Limited.

In 2009, Dutt had an alleged affair with Sahil Khan when the two started a production company together. The alleged relationship of the two and their business partnership took an ugly shape later in 2014 when she filed a legal case against him. In return, the actor's lawyer submitted some intimate photos to the court, which had both Sahil and Ayesha in a compromising situation implying there was much more than just professional commitment between the two.
