Who is Shiney Ahuja’s wife, Anupam Pande? She stood with her husband during rape trial, quit high paying job
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.
