“I love my wife and daughter”- Shiney Ahuja
Just three days before the rape of his maid servant Shiney Ahuja gave an interview on the sets of Accident. He said that he prefers to spend time after pack up with his wife Anupam and his daughter, who he loves very dearly.
What
is
your
role
in
Accident?
I
play
the
role
of
Akshat,
an
IT
guy
who
is
working
in
California
in
Accident
which
is
being
produced
by
Pritish
Nandy
Communications
and
directed
by
Abhijeet
Bhattacharya.
The
film
is
about
how
horror
strikes
and
what
happens
when
Akshat
decides
to
move
to
India
for
a
change,
along
with
his
wife
played
by
Soha
Ali
Khan.
I
can
identify
a
lot
with
the
role
of
Akshat,
because
like
Akshat,
my
sister
and
brother
in
law
who
were
also
in
IT
have
come
back
to
India
from
the
USA
Considering
the
fact
that
you
are
always
extra
choosy
as
an
actor,
what
made
you
grab
the
project?
I
liked
the
script
as
well
as
the
team
behind
the
project
and
hence
decided
to
grab
the
project
though
it
is
true
that
I
have
been
extra
choosy
about
my
films
and
select
very
few
that
appeal
to
me.
In
order
of
preference
I
go
by
first
the
script
and
my
role
and
then
I
see
who
the
director
is
and
then
the
team.
How
has
the
experience
of
working
with
a
director
like
Abhijeet
been?
It
has
been
wonderful
working
with
a
director
like
Abhijeet
because
he
is
a
perfect
mix
ion
visual
aesthetics
and
performance.
Abhijeet
has
a
good
grip
over
his
actors
and
their
performances,
especially
since
he
has
an
ad
background.
Why
do
you
have
this
reputation
of
not
being
friendly
with
your
leading
ladies?
An
actor
need
not
be
a
good
friend
of
every
actor
with
whom
he
is
acting,
though
he
has
to
be
friendly.
I
am
friendly
with
my
co-actors.
I
may
know
you
for
several
years
but
that
does
not
mean
that
you
are
my
best
friend.
Preity
Zinta
did
not
invite
you
to
her
party
after
the
shoot
of
Har
Pall.
Why?
Yes.
It
is
true
that
Preity
Zinta
who
is
my
leading
lady
in
Jahnu
Barua"s
Har
Pall
did
not
invite
me
to
a
party
that
she
hosted.
So
what?
However
let
me
clarify
that
what
Preity
had
stated
had
been
picked
out
of
context
by
the
media.
Preity
had
only
stated
that
both
she
and
I
did
not
hang
out
after
the
shoot
with
each
other.
What
she
said
was
true.
You
have
been
described
as
shy
and
introvert.
Describe
the
real
Shiney
Ahuja!
Neither
have
I
ever
been
extra
friendly
nor
have
I
insulted
any
one
in
my
life.
Let
me
assert
that
I
am
neither
shy
nor
an
introvert
as
I
have
been
labeled
all
these
years
ever
since
I
had
made
my
debut
with
Sudhir
Mishra"s
Hazaaron
Khwaishein
Aisi.
It
is
just
that
I
prefer
to
spend
as
much
time
with
my
wife
Anupam
and
daughter
who
I
love
dearly,
as
soon
as
the
pack
up
is
announced.
Is
it
true
that
you
have
made
an
attempt
to
break
your
image
as
an
actor
with
Har
Pal?
As
an
actor,
it
has
never
been
my
endeavor
to
break
my
image.
Though
I
played
a
negative
role
in
Vinod
Pandey"s
Sins,
I
played
a
serious
role
in
Hazaaron
Khwaishein
Aisi.
In
Jahnu
Barua"s
Har
Pal,
I
do
not
have
a
serious
image.
It
is
my
first
ever
romantic
comedy,
though
Preity
has
essayed
similar
roles
before.
It
is
in
fact
a
different
film
for
Jahnu
Barua
who
has
been
making
serious
issue
based
films
earlier
including
Maine
Gandhi
Ko
Nahin
Maara.
Do
you
think
that
it
is
a
handicap
as
an
actor,
being
saddled
with
serious
roles?
You
would
not
believe
it
but
the
fact
is
that
when
I
was
doing
theatre
way
back
in
Delhi,
I
had
never
ever
done
a
serious
role
and
all
my
friends
there
used
to
tell
me
not
to
try
to
go
to
Mumbai
and
try
my
luck
as
an
actor
in
Bollywood
for
the
simple
reason
that
I
was
not
at
all
cut
out
to
do
serious
roles.
Why
did
you
decide
to
do
a
small
part
in
a
big
set
up
like
Bhool
Bhulaiya?
I
decided
to
take
up
the
offer
to
do
a
part
in
an
Akshay
Kumar
project
like
Bhool
Bhulaiya
only
because
the
film
had
Priyadarshan
as
the
director
and
ten
times
more
budget
than
the
kind
of
films
which
I
used
to
do
earlier.
I
feel
that
it
is
good
to
be
a
part
of
a
film
that
has
a
certain
reach.
How
did
you
feel
being
overshadowed
in
Bhool
Bhulaiya?
If
you
ask
me
whether
I
felt
overshadowed
by
Akshay
Kumar
in
the
film,
all
that
I
can
say
that
I
am
only
a
three
year
old
actor
in
films
whereas
Akshay
has
put
in
nineteen
more
years
than
I
have.
I
have
always
believed
in
my
part
and
my
director.
Considering
that
all
the
jokes
in
the
film
start
only
after
Akshay
makes
his
entry
in
the
interval
of
the
film,
it
was
a
foregone
conclusion
that
Akshay
would
walk
away
with
all
the
applause
in
the
film.
There
is
a
complaint
against
you
that
you
interfere
with
your
directors.
I
do
not
know
how
I
have
been
labeled
as
an
interfering
actor.
It
is
far
from
true.
I
just
do
my
job
as
an
actor
and
do
not
interfere
with
my
directors.
Earlier
the
media
used
to
write
that
Aamir
was
interfering
with
his
directors
but
now
that
Aamir
has
proved
to
be
a
successful
mega
star,
now
it
is
being
said
that
Aamir
is
only
contributing
for
the
betterment
of
his
film.
Which
films
are
in
your
kitty
after
Har
Pall
and
Accident?
Right
now
I
am
excited
about
playing
the
interesting
role
of
Richard
in
James
Ordinez
in
his
International
film
Silver
Cord.
I
was
zeroed
in
for
the
project
after
the
producers
had
seen
my
performances
in
films
like
Gangster
and
Hazaaron
Khwaishein
Aisi.
Silver
Cord
is
a
science
fiction
romantic
film.
It
is
quite
sad
that
in
India
science
fiction
films
have
never
worked
in
the
past
because
we
try
to
cut
corners
and
make
a
30
crores
film
in
3
crores.
