Once A Rising Star, Actor’s Career Collapses After Rape Conviction; Now Lives Abroad Running Garment Business

Bollywood is one of the most unpredictable industries. While it can give you overnight success, it can also end careers. One cannot predict what they will get once they enter films, and something similar happened with an actor who was once at the top of his game. Remember Shiney Ahuja? The actor who delivered films like Gangster, Life in a Metro, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Woh Lamhe, and many more is now a forgotten name in the industry. But where is he now? What is Shiney doing? Born into an Army family, Shiney entered the industry through commercials. With over 40 ads in a year, Shiney got his calling. After appearing in a Pepsi ad, Shiney got a Sudhir Mishra film, and finally in 2005, he made his debut with Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi. Everything was going well, and Shiney was having the time of his life with a string of successful films including Gangster (2006), Woh Lamhe (2006), Life in a… Metro (2007), and Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007). Critics and audiences were loving his performances. Shiney, who was at the top of his game, then faced a debacle that led to a downfall that could never be undone. In 2009, Shiney faced a rape allegation when his 19-year-old maid accused him of raping her, sending shockwaves through the industry. The scandal left Shiney’s Bollywood career shattered, and there was no going back from there. After the allegation, Shiney was booked under Section 376 (rape) and Section 506 (threat to kill) of the Indian Penal Code. At that time, he was sent to Arthur Road Jail for trial, and after months, he was granted bail. Later, during the trial, Shiney’s maid retracted her statement and revealed that she was never raped, but the judge noticed foul play and believed she had turned hostile and made the false statement under pressure. In 2011, Shiney was convicted and sentenced to seven years in prison, though he continued to maintain his innocence and appealed the verdict. Shiney later filed an appeal in the High Court and was granted interim bail. This round of being in and out of jail and court led to Shiney’s Bollywood career dying down. In 2015, Shiney tried to make a comeback and starred in Welcome Back, but the damage was already done and his film career had already sunk due to controversies. Years on, Shiney Ahuja has stepped away from the limelight and built a quiet life for himself. According to reports, he is now based in the Philippines, where he runs a garment business — a far cry from his once-promising Bollywood career. His journey continues to stand out as one of the most dramatic highs and lows in Hindi cinema.

Meri aankh, eye graft (corneal transplantation) ho gayi hai. I am strong. Love you, my audience and my fans.” More about veteran actor Dharmendra Dharmendra, one of Indian cinema’s most beloved stars, has had an illustrious career spanning over six decades with classics such as Sholay, Chupke Chupke, Satyakam, and Seeta Aur Geeta.

‘Girls Are A Huge Problem’: Raghu Ram Says He’d Rather Get Heart Attack Than Be Vulnerable To A Woman

Former Roadies judge Raghu Ram has made some serious comments against women, claiming that at times they are the root cause of why men have mental or physical illnesses. He, on a podcast, shared that he feels men die early or commit suicide because of the kind of girl they are with. He shared that at times, he has met women on his popular reality show who are more aggressive than men. Speaking on the Two Girls & Two Cups podcast, Raghu shared, “There were some women in Roadies that our ears turned red, smoke came out, and we fell on the floor. I was taking notes from them. Their decibel levels and language… when girls get down to it. Girls are not gentlemen. Even when men are fighting, there’s still a limit. Women don’t have that limit. They get so screechy, and what they say is very hurtful. We get very scared.” “Girls are a huge problem because they may say they need emotionally open men, but they don’t actually want them. When a man turns emotional, they reject him saying. ‘You’re like a girl! We’ve lost respect for you.’ Because of girls, guys don’t share anything. We’re happy to have a heart attack at 60 instead,” added Raghu. He further went on to say, “It’s because of the way women don’t accept us when we open up. We don’t even have an option. How bad can it be? Heart attack? Bypass surgery? We’ll do that. But I won’t say something vulnerable to a woman. When a man does, women use that against him.” About Raghu Ram Raghu Ram became a household name after he started hosting the popular reality show Roadies on MTV. Recently, Paramount Global officially announced that five of MTV’s remaining music channels — MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live — will shut down across the UK, Europe, and other international markets by December 31, 2025. Raghu, while speaking about it, got emotional and talked about how deeply MTV influenced his life and career. “I was very, very into MTV in the 90s and early 2000s. In fact, MTV has played a very big role in my life,” he said. He also addressed the accusation that he was responsible for MTV India’s shift away from music towards reality content. “Some even accuse me of being the reason MTV moved away from music. I don’t know how much truth there is in that. But you can see now — those who didn’t move internationally, those channels are shutting down. So MTV India, you’re welcome, I guess,” Raghu said.

Bigg Boss 19: Nehal Chudasama Calls Amaal Mallik ‘Dogla’, Says 'He Is Very Aggressive' | Exclusive

Bigg Boss 19 contestant Nehal Chudasama, who was once given a second chance and had entered the Bigg Boss secret room after her first eviction, finally exited the house during the latest Weekend Ka Vaar. After coming out of the show, Nehal, while chatting exclusively with News18 Showsha, spoke about her biggest regret and called Amaal Mallik a “dogla insaan.” Speaking to us, Nehal shared that she regrets not calling out Amaal Mallik’s two-faced behaviour and said, “The biggest regret I have is that I didn’t call out Amaal Mallik. Mere paas enough proof aur instances the, but mera soft spot tha jiski wajah se main nahi kar paayi. Lekin mujhe pata hai ki mere paas woh strength aur power thi ki main use call out kar sakti thi, kyunki woh ek bohot hi dogla insaan hai aur bohot hi aggressive hai. Mujhe uska yeh dogla nature logon ke saamne rakhna chahiye tha — this is the only regret I have.” (I had enough proof and instances, but I had a soft spot for him, which is why I couldn’t do it. But I know I had the strength and power to call him out because he’s a very two-faced and aggressive person. I should’ve exposed his double standards in front of everyone — that’s the only regret I have.) Nehal further continued and shared that she and the rest of the housemates also believed that Amaal Mallik was being favoured and had backing from the show’s creators. She added, “I would be very honest, sabko yeh lagta tha ki Amaal ko thoda sa support milta hai. Kahin na kahin aisa lag raha tha aur hum thode demoralise bhi hote the. (To be very honest, everyone used to feel that Amaal always got some extra support. Somewhere, that’s what it seemed like, and it did demoralize us a bit.)” In the conversation, Nehal also spoke about why she feels Gaurav Khanna can win the show and shared that he is a mastermind. Speaking about him, Nehal added, “He is playing a very diplomatic game. He keeps grudges but never shows it to anyone. He knows how to influence his team members, and I think he can win with his smartness.” Nehal Chudasama was evicted from Bigg Boss 19 during the recent Weekend Ka Vaar. He walked out of the show along with Baseer Ali. Catch all the drama, twists, and eliminations on Bigg Boss 19, streaming on JioCinema and airing on Colors TV.

‘Nahi Sudhrunga’: Akshay Kumar Revisits Viral ‘Mango’ Moment With PM Modi; Asks THIS To Devendra Fadnavis

In 2019, Akshay Kumar took Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s interview, and from that conversation, a particular question by the actor invited a meme fest. It was when Akshay asked PM Modi if he eats mangoes or not. Social media made quite a lot of jokes, but now, after getting a chance to talk to the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Devendra Fadnavis, Akshay decided to revisit the stir, and this time he asked the Maharashtra CM if he likes oranges. On Tuesday, Akshay was joined by Devendra Fadnavis at the FICCI FRAMES 2025 event, and while interviewing the CM, he said, “It is a lovely day… 25 years of FICCI… Humare saath humare Chief Minister sahab hain. Aaj mujhe mauka mila hai… yeh zindagi mein mera second time hai jo main kissi ka interview le raha hoon… Pehli baar mujhe mauka mila tha Pradhan Mantri ji ka interview lene ka. Aur ab humare Chief Minister sahab ka interview lene ka mauka mila hai (We have our Chief Minister with us today. This is the second time in my life that I’m taking someone’s interview… First, I got a chance to interview the Prime Minister and now I’ve got the chance to interview our Chief Minister).” The actor continued, “Sir, maine unse ek question kiya tha Pradhan Mantri sahab se ke aap aam kaise khate hain toh logon ne mazak udaya tha, lekin sir, main nahi sudhrunga (Sir, I had asked the Prime Minister how he eats mangoes, and people made fun of me, but sir, I won’t change).” “Aap Nagpur se hain aur Nagpur is famous for its oranges. Main yeh puchna chahta hoon ke aapko oranges acche lagte hain (You’re from Nagpur, and Nagpur is famous for its oranges. I wanted to ask if you like oranges)?” he finally asked Fadnavis. Reacting to the fun question, the CM quickly said “Yes” and revealed his own style of eating them — by slicing and sprinkling salt over them. “Only OG people know this style of eating an orange,” he further joked. About Akshay Kumar’s interview with the Prime Minister In 2019, Akshay sat down to interview Prime Minister Narendra Modi, and in the conversation, the actor mostly asked light-hearted, day-to-day questions. The interview was conducted at the residence of the Prime Minister in Delhi. When several memes surfaced on social media about his questions to PM Modi, the actor reacted to them and said, “I have no hesitation in admitting I couldn’t have asked any complicated questions about government, policies, or politics. All the big-time editors interviewing him anyway ask him questions which have ‘depth’, right? All I wanted to do was ask about lighter, relatable things which a common person would want to know about the man behind the powerful designation of the Prime Minister. I asked him if he likes eating mangoes. Some may find it frivolous, but I really wanted to know if he indeed did. What’s wrong with that?” in an interview with HT.
