Shiney Ahuja was once one of Bollywood’s most promising stars. With his debut in Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi (2005), he earned critical acclaim for his powerful performance. He went on to star in successful films like Gangster (2006), Woh Lamhe (2006), Life in a… Metro (2007), and Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007). Within just a few years, Shiney became one of the most sought-after names in the industry.
A Sudden Fall from Grace
However, his career took a tragic turn in 2009 when he was accused of sexual assault by a domestic help. The case shocked the entire industry and changed the course of his life. In 2011, Shiney Ahuja was sentenced to seven years in prison, which effectively ended his flourishing Bollywood journey.
A Short Comeback Attempt

Although he recently renewed his passport, insiders believe he has no plans to return to acting anytime soon.
