Shiney Ahuja who was jailed for 7 years looks unrecognisable at 50, left India, now stays in…

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.

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.

As soon as pictures were circulated on Reddit, netizens revealed that he 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 Welcome Back, released in 2015. During the promotions, director Anees Bazmee claimed that the actor was not in India when the promotions began.
