Veteran actor Shatrughan Sinha recently addressed his past involvement in a love triangle with his wife Poonam Sinha and Kalicharan co-star Reena Roy. In a candid interview, he admitted to cheating on both women at the time.
Shatrughan Sinha expressed remorse for his actions and credited his wife Poonam for helping him become a better person. He also acknowledged that not only do women in such situations suffer, but the man involved in the triangle also experiences pain.
In a conversation with Lehren Retro, the reporter reminded the star of one of his older statements saying "I remember from the past when you told me you had your feet in two different boats," the reporter said. Shatrughan replied, "Two different boats? I would say, sometimes I was in several boats."
He then addressed his relationship reports and said, "I wouldn’t take names. But, I am grateful to all the women who were part of my life. I don’t have any grudges against anybody. I never think ill of them. They have all helped me grow and become a better person."
Shatrughan Sinha accepted that he was in a relationship with Poonam and Reena Roy, saying, "I have definitely made mistakes in my life. It was natural for a boy, who had come all the way from Patna to get lost in the glitz and glamour of the industry. I didn’t know how to deal with stardom. People get lost in all this. I didn’t have any guardian to guide me. However, after Poonam came in my life, she helped me a lot," he said.
Although he refused to take Reena’s name, Shatrughan said, "I am grateful to her. I have received lots of love from her, and have learnt a lot. I have no complaints."
“When a man is good at heart, and he is having two committed relationships simultaneously, he too suffers a lot in terms of his mental and physical health. You also feel guilty. When you are out with your lover, you feel guilty for your wife at home and when you are with your wife, you feel bad for your lover: Usko khilona banake kyu rakha hai?’" Sinha said.
While concluding the confession the actor said, "I want to say, its not just the girls involved in the love triangle that are suffering, the man equally suffers. He struggles to get out of the situation even when he wants to."
