Shiney Ahuja was one of the most prominent names in Bollywood. He rose to fame with performances in films such as Gangster (2006), Life in a… Metro (2007), Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007), and Woh Lamhe (2006). Despite achieving significant success in the early 2000s, his life took a devastating turn when he landed himself in a legal controversy that not just not ended his thriving career but also led him to take exit from the limelight. How did Shiney Ahuja's rising career came to an end?
In 2009, Shiney's career came crashing down when he was hit with shocking allegations of raping his 19-year-old domestic help. He was sentenced to seven years of imprisonment by Mumbai court in 2011. Despite Shiney's constant claims of innocence and the victim's recanted statement, Shiney's career got deeply impacted and never recovered.
No filmmaker was willing to work with him after the scandal, and his reputation was tarnished beyond repair. Shiney largely disappeared from the public eye, with reports suggesting that he moved to the Philippines. Reportedly, his recent photos circulated on reddit, and the actor looked unrecognisable due to his transformed physique. In the photo, Shiney was dressed in a black-hued t-shirt with matching pants. He kept his hair unkempt and was seen smiling while giving a thumbs-up.
Shiney Ahuja is now running a garment business?
As soon as the pictures were circulated on Reddit, netizens revealed that Shiney permanently shifted to Philippines. One user wrote, 'This was in 2021. He has permanently moved to the Philippines.' A second user commented, 'Yeah someone had mentioned here in 2022 that he had moved to the Philippines and was doing some garment business, it is absurd that there is a page asking justice for him.'
Shiney Ahuja's last on-screen appearance was in 2015 release Welcome Back. During the promotions, director Anees Bazmee claimed that the actor was not in India when the promotions began.

4 Heroes 'Insecure' After Ahaan Panday's Debut, Claims Komal Nahta; Fans Ask 'Kartik, Ibrahim?'

Last Updated: Komal Nahta claimed that one actor is now unable to concentrate on the shooting of his upcoming film. Ahaan Panday has become the talk of the town after the release of his debut film, Saiyaara. Of all the star kids who have made their debuts recently, Ahaan Panday is being touted as the next big superstar. However, as per trade analyst Komal Nahta, Ahaan's early success has left four Bollywood actors insecure. Komal Nahta claimed in an article, 'One actor, with more than 40 films to his credit, actually told his colleague that he was finding it difficult to get even his forty winks, leave alone a good night's sleep." He wrote that Saiyaara's numbers are giving the actor palpitations and have left him feeling insecure about his career. The article also mentioned, 'Another relatively newer hero is said to be ringing up his current producers to find out whether the advance booking is genuine or not." It was recently reported that several producers have a habit of inflating their box office numbers with corporate bookings. However, as per Komal Nahta, Saiyaara's numbers are real. As for the third hero, the report claimed, 'A third hero is busy spreading stories that he is privy to inside information that the advance booking figures are being hyped by the producer of the film." The report also mentions a fourth hero who has 'almost 20 films to his credit, simply can't concentrate on his shooting as he is asking all and sundry whether the hype around Saiyaara is for real". This report resurfaced on Reddit, where netizens tried to guess which actors were being hinted at. One comment read, 'Shahid, Varun and Kartik?" Another mentioned, 'Has to be Ibrahim. Veer has no chance, and I hope he knows it. Junaid and Vedang seem pretty chill." One person wrote, referring to Ibrahim Ali Khan, 'Imagine being born to Bollywood and cricket royalty (and an actual royal family) only to get mogged by checks notes Chikki Panday's son. I'd be pissed too if I were him lol." One comment read, '40+ films – Saif or John (Shahid doesn't cross the number of 40 movies). Ringing producers- maybe Varun. It has to be Kartik, lord of the PR." Someone else wrote, 'Everyone else makes sense…but who is 40-plus movie actor feeling insecure with Ahaan? Abhishek Bachchan?" For the unversed, the film's box office collection has matched the social media response around the film. The film has earned nearly Rs 20 crore till now. Saiyaara has outperformed the Day 1 collections of Murder 2 (Rs 6.95 crore), Aashiqui 2 (Rs 6.10 crore), and Half Girlfriend (Rs 10.30 crore). It has also eclipsed the collections of Ek Villain (2014), which collected Rs 16 crore on its opening day, by becoming Mohit Suri's biggest opener ever.

'Biglaw biter': Sidley Austin fires summer intern who started biting co-workers, HR representative

Sidley Austin reportedly terminated a summer intern as she started biting people in the Manhattan office. Global law firm Sidley Austin, the company where Barack Obama and Michelle Obama met for the first time, is at the center of a juicy Reddit gossip this week as the company had to fire a summer intern in its Manhattan office as she started biting people. Accounts and even a photo of a bite mark are doing the rounds with social media users lapping up every detail of how it started, how many people she bit altogether etc. Legal news site Above the Law reported the bizarre thing and named the intern 'Biglaw biter' as the identity of the person has not been disclosed. Even Sidley Austin did not confirm the incident either. The bites were not 'in an aggressive, 'we're beefing' way' – but rather, 'a faux-quirky manic pixie dream girl crossed with the Donner party vibe,' the outlet reported. 'Though I've seen pics of the results post-Biglaw Biter, and 'nibble' is probably too tame a word,' the article's author noted. 'It's unclear why so many people let this go before reporting the Biglaw Biter, but the rumor is she's otherwise personable and there was some reluctance to elevate the matter,' the report said. An X post claimed that her officemate started wearing long-sleeved shirts as she was getting bit. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal? How to get Internet without paying a subscription? Techno Mag Learn More Undo According to some insiders, by the time the intern was fired, her bite body count reached double digits. New York Post, however, cited an insider who said only five employed were bitten and everything else is an exaggeration. People who got bitten included other summer interns, associate lawyers and even an HR rep. According to a piece of gossip circulating, nobody was reporting the biting incident for some reason. "Separately, this girl also went to dinner with a group of partners and associates and ordered a $2000 bottle of wine, which also came up in her termination meeting as demonstration poor judgment," a screenshot on X claimed.
