Meet Shiney Ahuja's wife who left her dream job for him, defended him during rape cases allegations, her name is...
In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, actors are always under high scrutiny. From their red carpet appearances, post-gym paparazzi to their relationship, everything is under the public eye. These constant eyeballs sometimes became a real testament of their relationship, while some survive, most fizzle out. But amongst the many superficial relationships in Bollywood that are known for their picture-perfect story, there was one relationship in Bollywood that stood out. Not for their extravagant display of love on the gram, but their companionship in a true sense.
The people in the picture are none other than Anupam Pande and his wife, Shiney Ahuja. Anupam Pande is a celebrated actor who was also seen in films like Gangster, Life In A Metro, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, and Woh Lamhe. Shiney Ahuja's Controversy
In 2009, Shiney Ahuja met with a controversy that completely changed his life. He was accused of a serious crime that not only halted his rising Bollywood career but also made him go through trials, accusations, and a media circus. But during this time, when his career came to a standstill and everyone turned against him, his wife, Anupam Pande, never left his side.
Everything was going fine, and Shiney was considered the next big thing in Bollywood, until one day, that completely turned around his life. His 19 year old house help accused the actor of raping her in his house in Mumbai. This allegation shocked his fans and stunned the entire entertainment world. He was booked under Section 376 (rape) and Section 506 (threat to kill) of the Indian Penal Code.
These allegations made Shiney go through a circus of accusations, media trials, and whatnot. However, despite the emotional turmoil, his wife, Anupam Pande, never left Shiney's side. Not only did she stand tall with him, but in every media interaction, she was seen defending Shiney and telling everyone that he had been 'framed'. Who is Anupam Pande? Her Early life and more.
Coming from a conservative, middle-class background, Shiney belonged to Jamshedpur. Later, she moved to Delhi, where she completed her education. Anupam completed her graduation in Economics and was a bright individual. She worked with multinational companies and had a shining future in corporate leadership. She was offered a dream job as Director of Marketing at a top American company based in New York. But Anupam was skeptical about taking the offer, as it was in New York. However, Shiney pushed Anupam to take the offer and pursue her dream. The couple managed a three-year-long-distance marriage, demonstrating their commitment to each other's growth.
However, the long-distance marriage was becoming difficult for Anupam, so she decided to quit and came back to Shiney in Mumbai. Soon, the couple embraced parenthood and welcomed their first child, Arshya.
Anupam's unwavering support and trust in her husband continue to be remembered as a rare act of love and resilience in the face of public disgrace.
While today Shiney would be a forgotten actor, his wife, who chose loyalty over ambition and convenience, remains unforgotten.

Case against producer for forging signature to get rights of films title
Kochi, Jul 29 (PTI) Police have registered a case against Malayalam film producer P A Shamnas for allegedly obtaining the title of the upcoming film 'Action Hero Biju-2' by forging actor-producer Nivin Pauly's signature. Based on a complaint from Pauly, an FIR was registered against Shamnas under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 465 (forgery) and 471 (using as genuine a forged document or electronic record), police sources said. In the agreement signed in 2023 by Nivin Pauly, director Abrid Shine and Shamnas for making the film 'Action Hero Biju-2,' all the rights of the film were given to Nivin Pauly's production company, Pauly Junior. Pauly said in his complaint that Shamnas acquired the rights to the name of the film from the Kerala Film Chamber by hiding the agreement. For this, a document with Nivin Pauly's forged signature was presented. When these matters came to light during the police investigation, the Palarivattom police had registered a case against Shamnas. The police had earlier registered a case against Nivin Pauly on a complaint filed by Shamnas, who claimed that he owned the rights to the film and that Pauly Junior Company had given the overseas rights to another company without his knowledge. The complaint states that Shamnas conspired to humiliate Nivin Pauly in public and get his way by threatening him while the dispute over the contract was still pending. The upcoming movie's first part, "Action Hero Biju" (2016), starring Nivin Pauly and directed by Abrid Shine was a mega hit in Malayalam.

Kangana Ranaut reacts to Pawan Kalyan calling her ‘stronger' actor than Kareena Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra
Actor and Deputy CM of Andhra Pradesh, Pawan Kalyan, is busy promoting his recent release, Hari Hara Veera Mallu. The actor, who is known for famously not taking part in film promotions, chose a different strategy for his first film as a politician. In a rapid-fire with Hauterrfly, Pawan picked Kangana Ranaut as his ideal co-star over Priyanka Chopra or Kareena Kapoor. The Mandi MP reacted to Pawan calling her a 'stronger' actor. Pawan Kalyan stated that he's impressed with Kangana Ranaut's performance in Emergency. Pawan Kalyan wants to act with Kangana Ranaut During the rapid-fire round, Pawan was asked if he would rather act with Alia Bhatt or Deepika Padukone. Calling it a 'difficult choice', he picked both. When asked between Alia, Deepika and Kriti Sanon, Pawan smiled and picked all three. But between Alia, Deepika, Kriti and Kiara Advani, Pawan seemed to make up his mind while picking Kriti. Pawan was then asked if he would rather work with Kriti or Kangana Ranaut, and he answered Kangana. He also picked Kangana when asked to choose between her and Priyanka Chopra. When it came to Kareena Kapoor and Kangana, Pawan felt it depended on the film. However, he added, 'I still feel…looking at how she portrayed Indira Gandhi (in Emergency), I think I should go with the stronger person, Kangana Ranaut.' Reacting to the rapid-fire, Kangana reshared it on her Instagram stories with folded hands and loving emojis. The only female actor who managed to beat Kangana as Pawan's favourite potential co-star was his brother Chiranjeevi's Jagadeka Veerudu Athiloka Sundari co-star, the late Sridevi. When asked to choose between Kangana and Sridevi, Pawan replied with a smile, 'This one, Sridevi, of course.' Kangana Ranaut re-shared Pawan Kalyan's rapid-fire on her Instagram stories. Recent work Kangana, who debuted with the 2006 film Gangster and acted in only one Telugu film in her career, the 2009 Prabhas-starrer Ek Niranjan, was last seen in Emergency, which she also directed and produced. Pawan, who was last seen in the 2023 film Bro, was seen in Hari Hara Veera Mallu, which was released in theatres last week in all south Indian languages. The film has yet to be released in Hindi. He will soon star in They Call Him OG and Ustaad Bhagat Singh.

On Nivin Pauly's petition, producer booked for allegedly forging rights of Action Hero Biju 2
The Palarivattom police in Kerala have registered a case against film producer P.S. Shamnas on a petition by actor Nivin Pauly that the former allegedly forged his signature to appropriate the rights of the forthcoming Malayalam movie Action Hero Biju 2. Mr. Pauly is also the co-producer of the film, which is a sequel to the blockbuster Malayalam movie by the same name, being directed by Abrid Shine. According to the FIR, an agreement was signed by Mr. Pauly, Mr. Shine and Mr. Shamnas, who owns the film production company Indian Movie Makers, to co-produce the movie on March 3, 2023. However, Mr. Shamnas allegedly forged a consent letter complete with Mr. Pauly's forged signature and submitted it to the Kerala Film Chamber of Commerce and got the film registered in the name of his production company, the FIR said. With the registration of the police case, the film chamber is also likely to initiate action against Mr. Shamnas. Earlier, the Thalayolaparambu police registered a case against Mr. Paul and Mr. Shine on a petition by Mr. Shamnas who had alleged that the overseas rights of the film was sold to a company by Mr. Pauly's production company Pauly Junior without his knowledge. Mr. Shamnas has been charged under the Indian Penal Code Sections 465 (forgery), and 471 (using as genuine a forged document or electronic record).
