Biography
Shiny Ahuja is a son of an army commander and was born on May 15 1969 in New Delhi. Joining the armed forces was his ambition, but then he got attracted to Theatre and he joined Barry Johns acting School in Delhi. Barry is a famous name as he trained Shahrukh Khan.
Shiny came to Bombay with a dream to make it like the Shahrukh. Shiny started modeling and did many commercials for Cadbury, Park Avenue, Raymonds, but it was Peter England shirts that gave face value to Shiny. Shiny also did a music video for Stereo Nation and was spotted in that by Farhan Akhtar, who asked him to audition for Dil Chatha Hai. Shiny bagged a role in the movie, but could not do it due to some unknown reasons.
Shiny got married to a topnotch corporate woman Anu Ahuja. Shiny joined Mahesh Dattani s workshop in the mean time to brush up his acting skills. Shiny Ahuja signed Sins directed by Vinod Pandey as his debut project; the movie gave rise to controversies as Shiney played the role of a Church priest who has a sexual relation with a younger woman.
Shinys second movie was Kal directed by Ruchi Narayan; the two were also romantically linked. Sudhir Mishras Hazar Khwashion Aisi made the audiences sit up and take notice of Shinys talent. Mahesh Bhatt signed him for Gangster and the movie made him a star.
Shiny Ahuja is regarded as one of the rising stars in Bollywood, but his image is that not of an emblematic commercial hero, who can dance and do action; so Shiny ends up getting more mature roles, but that gives him an opportunity to display his acting skills.
