Was Jaddanbai, grandmother of Sanjay Dutt, lovechild of Motilal Nehru? A fact check

I got a WhatsApp message from a friend which had a screenshot of the Wikipedia page of Jaddanbai (maternal grandmother of actor Sanjay Dutt) where it was stated that she was the daughter of Motilal Nehru and Daleepabai. When I checked the Wikipedia page of Jaddanbai, there is no longer a mention of Motilal Nehru who was the father of Jawaharlal Nehru.

Most of the information mentioned in this podcast episode is from pages 131 to 134 of the book 'Courting Hindustan: The Consuming Passions of Iconic Women Performers of India' written by Madhur Gupta which I had reviewed on 18th of August, 2023.
