At Arbaaz Khan’s chat programme, Shatrughan Sinha spoke candidly about the moment he severed his relationship with his wife Poonam.
Shatrughan Sinha, a seasoned actor, used to frequently make news for his claimed extramarital affairs more than his performances or films. In addition to being an actor, he frequently finds himself in hot water. But today, the actor and Poonam Sinha are happily married and the delighted parents of three kids: Sonakshi Sinha, Luv, and Kush Sinha. Did you know that at one point he was about to divorce Poonam?
The love tale of Shatrughan and his wife Poonam is very famous and legendary. Who would have guessed that the woman he met on the train from Patna to Puna while en route to enrol in the Film and Television Institute of India would become his wife? Yet there came a time in their relationship when he severed all contact with her.
Shatrughan Sinha discussed his breakup with his wife Poonam Sinha and the reasons why they had lost touch before they reconciled during an interview with Arbaaz Khan on his chat programme, The Invincibles Series. He revealed, “Yes, we had stopped talking. It was my decision. It was thought at the time that there was something else happening in my life, but I wouldn’t want to dwell on that. But it was my fault, I was looking for an exit strategy, and one day, I told her, ‘You’re too good for me, and I can’t be with you
Shatrughan Sinha continued the debate by stating that he had become a victim of popularity and had lost all self-control. He said, “It was my fault,” acknowledging his error. I got carried away and fell prey to stardom. When a lady expressed interest in me, I used to believe she would never do so, and when she did, I let my guard down as is only natural. In a sense, Maine talaaq de diya… We cut off all communication totally, although I would later learn that she was worrying about me and my wellbeing. She would request that my employees feed and care for me more effectively.
Shatrughan Sinha has spoken about his treachery to his wife in the past. The Kaala Patthar actor had previously made the amusing statement, “When women now express interest in me, I simply think of this sentence — “water water everywhere, not a drop to drink,” in an interview that was posted on the WildFilmsIndia YouTube channel.
