Shiney Ahuja Reported Living in the Philippines, Running a Garment Business

His 2023 passport renewal cleared the way for extended international travel during a long-running appeal.

Overview

  • A new round of coverage and viral social posts says the former Bollywood actor is based in the Philippines and managing a garment venture, with no official confirmation of his current location.
  • Some posts recently suggested he had settled in the United States, reflecting conflicting, unverified claims about his whereabouts.
  • Ahuja was arrested in 2009 and, in 2011, a Mumbai fast-track court convicted him of rape and sentenced him to seven years, with reporting citing medical and DNA evidence and the complainant’s initial statement.
  • He appealed the conviction and later received bail from the Bombay High Court, which in 2023 permitted a ten-year renewal of his passport.
  • After serving part of his sentence he attempted a return with Ghost (2012) and a cameo in Welcome Back (2015), but his career did not recover, and he turned 50 this year.
