The 37-year-old Bollywood Actor will appeal against the sentence in the Mumbai High Court says his lawyer Srikant Shivade while speaking to reporters. Shiney Ahuja won a slew of awards for his 2003 debut in the critically acclaimed “Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi”. According to his lawyer, the actor has maintained his innocence throughout the judicial process.
During the period of 18 months between his arrest and sentencing to jail for 7 years, the actor is said to have worked for a new film ‘The Accident’. While talking to reporters Ramkamal Mukherjee, the head of corporate communications at Pritish Nandy Communications says “Shiney finished shooting for ‘The Accident’ a while back. But we haven’t decided when to release it. That’s a marketing and business decision,”
Another film featuring Ahuja, which has been ready for release for more than two years, has also not come out. Shiney Ahuja is married and has a young daughter.
The sentencing of a movie star in India is rare. Sanjay Dutt was sent to prison in 2007 under India’s tough anti-terrorist laws for possessing a powerful firearm, while Salman Khan was found guilty in 2006 of shooting an endangered species of antelope.
