Why Anupam Ahuja Is Unlike Other Star Wives

Before Shiney Ahuja was convicted of rape, only a few people knew her name... but that has all changed now. Anupam, who had previously preferred a quiet life away from the spotlight, jumped into the fray to express her unwavering love for her husband. And in the last few, what must be a nightmare for her, she's received everything from pity to derision to indignation to grudging admiration. Here are some of the reasons why we respect her:

1. It's not easy for someone who has rarely accompanied her husband to parties or premieres to unexpectedly be thrust into the spotlight. For all the wrong reasons, to begin. Anupam Ahuja has done it with grace and poise, from press conferences to interviews.

2. She has never cried or broken down in an attempt to gain attention. She has, on the contrary, shown that she is a tough woman who is not afraid to confront the facts.

3. She has come across as such a smart woman who has been consistently controlled in her interactions with the media and has been careful not to say anything that could jeopardize her husband's lawsuit, which is currently under appeal.

4. Her unwavering devotion to Shiney and confidence in him is palpable. She has maintained her belief that Shiney is innocent (despite DNA evidence to the contrary) and that he is being framed.
