Remember Shiney Ahuja, once a rising star of Bollywood, who was at the peak of fame with hits like Gangster and Woh Lamhe, until it all came crashing down. From spotlight to shadow after serving a 7-year jail sentence that shook his career and personal life, the promising actor vanished from the spotlight.
Now at 50, he looks completely different, unrecognizable, and no longer lives in India. But the question arises: where is he now, and what does his life look like after fame?
Who Is Shiney Ahuja?
He was born on May 15, 1973. Shiney Ahuja is a famous Indian actor best known for his roles in Bollywood movies. After his outstanding performance in Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi in 2003, he went on to star in a number of popular movies, such as Gangster, Woh Lamhe, Life in a Metro, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Ghost, and Welcome Back.
After graduating from Delhi University’s Hansraj College, he went on to study engineering at Bangalore’s R.V. College of Engineering. Shiney comes from an army family — his father was a lieutenant in the Indian Army. His early education and disciplined upbringing made him a well-rounded person who was prepared to face challenges in any area.
Where Is Shiney Ahuja Now?
His career in movies began to decline, from which he was not able to recover, and no filmmaker wanted to work with him. According to rumors, Shiney has been avoiding the spotlight and staying low in the Philippines.
In 2009, he was accused of raping his 19-year-old domestic assistant, which resulted in an intense trial that affected his career and public image. The incident led Ahuja to be widely rejected in the film industry, even though the accuser ultimately dismissed the accusations.
Incident That Affected His Career
Shiney was taken into custody in June 2009 and jailed in Arthur Road Jail, awaiting trial. On October 2, 2009, bail was granted to him. The judge suspected that Shiney’s maid had been forced into changing her testimony when she withdrew her statements and medical reports in court in 2010. Shiney nevertheless received a seven-and-a-half-year sentence in 2011. After he filed an appeal with the High Court, he was given temporary bail.
The Last Time We Saw Shiney Ahuja
The last time we saw Shiney Ahuja was in the 2015 film Welcome Back. The film’s cast promoted the film without Shiney, and director Anees Bazmee stated that the actor wasn’t in India when the campaign began.
His Personal Life
During this time, Shiney’s personal life was also closely examined. He has a daughter named Arshiya and a wife, Anupam Pandey, whom he married in 1997. Anupam, who avoided contact with the media, turned into Shiney’s pillar during his legal battle. In public, she stood up for her husband, strongly declaring that he had been set up.
Is Shiney Ahuja Currently Operating A Garment Company?
Immediately after the images went viral on Reddit, internet users disclosed that Shiney had moved permanently to the Philippines. This occurred in 2021, according to one user. He has made the Philippines his permanent home. “Yeah, someone had mentioned here in 2022 that he had moved to the Philippines and was doing some garment business,” said a second user. “It is ridiculous that there is a page asking for justice for him.”
