Shiney Ahuja made his Filmfare Award-winning debut with the film, Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi in 2006, which was followed by his picture-perfect portrayal of the lover boy in the film, Gangster: A Love Story the same year. Thereafter, he wooed audiences with his subsequent releases such as Wo Lamhe, Life In A Metro, Bhool Bhulaiyya, Welcome Back and more. However, at a time when his audience simply wished for more from his impeccable acting mettle, he got embroiled in the matter of a rape case in 2011, and was sentenced to seven years of imprisonment.
According to the latest statement issued by the Bombay High Court, it has authorised Shiney Ahuja for a 10-year renewal of his passport. The ruling came after Shiney had appealed for his passport to be renewed for a longer period of time. Moreover, ever since he was granted bail, Shiney has already renewed his passport six times, and thus it can be concluded that he holds no risks for flights. According to Shiney’s lawyer, the actor was earlier put through a lot of difficulty when his passport was permitted to be renewed just for a year, since many foreign nations do not permit Indian nationals to stay with a passport that has a validity of less than six months.
