Shatrughan Sinha has always been rumoured to be in a relationship with Reena Roy, even after he got married to Poonam Sinha. But he’s never really admitted to it. In a recent interview, Shatrughan has admitted that he’s had his feet in not just two boats many boats. Shatrughan Sinha and Reena Roy have worked together in many movies like ‘Kalicharan’, ‘Naseeb’ among many others.
In a recent interview, he was asked if it was a difficult phase for him when he was with his wife Poonam and Reena both. Reacting to it, he said, “Nahi main kisika naam nahi lunga because I’m grateful to all the women in my life. Kisike khilaaf mere dil mein bure khyaal nahi hai. Unse bhi bohot kuch seekhne mila. Galtiyan ki hai humne life mein. Patna se aaya ladka aur achanaka stardom dekha, itna fame aur naam hota hai toh sambhaavna rehti hai behek jaane ki, kuch samajh nahi aata hai ke kya kare kaise kare. Jab mere jeevan mein Promi (Poonam) aayi, usne bohot sambhal liya. Par uske saath hi, mere jeevan mein joh doosri ladkiyan thi, unse bhi bohot seekhne ko mila, sambhalne ko mila (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 But I’ve also learnt a lot from the other women in my life).”
He further added that he has no grudge for anyone and respects all the women in his life.
He mentioned once again, that he won’t take names, but the interviewer said, “I’ve taken the name (referring to Reena Roy),” to which he laughed. He further added, “Agar aadmi accha ho, toh agar 2-3 jagah commitment chal raha hai aur ek jagah woh bohot committed ho, toh uske liye bhi dikkat hoti hai. Uska chayn sukoon blood pressure pe bohot farq padta hai. Ek ke paas jaata hai toh ghar pe joh rehti hai uski yaad aati hai. Aur jab doosre ke paas jaata hai toh lagta hai, usko kyun khilone ke tarah rakha hai? Wahan kaise jaau? (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 and think, have I kept her as a toy?)”
When asked if he feels guilty, he said, “Acche accho ko guilty feel hota hai aur main toh chhote shahar Patna se aaya hu.” He concluded by saying, “Sirf ladkiyon ke saath hi zulm aur zyadti nahi ho rahi hai, purush ke upar bhi bohot zyadti hoti hai. Woh usse nikalna chaahta hai, nikal nahi paata hai. (Not just the women involved in a love triangle but also the man suffers).”
Earlier, in his memoir, without taking any names, Sinha had said, “It was a difficult period for me also because withdrawing from an emotional entanglement elsewhere was taking its time. Promi (Poonam) used to cry a lot, but she knew I was trying my best. Sorting out our lives took its own time because it was a question of a commitment to the other party also.”
