Anupam Ahuja: Even a woman can rape a man

In spite of the mounting evidence against Shiney Ahuja who has allegedly raped his 18 year old maid, his wife refuses to believe that he has committed the heinous crime. We attended the press conference held yesterday, where she defended her husband.

“He is being framed,” she said, adding, “I don’t know why he is being framed and by whom.”

“I trust my husband and he is incapable of committing such a heinous crime. This is not blind love speaking, I have known him for fifteen years. He does not drink or smoke and he doesn’t attend parties. I am proud to be Mrs. Shiney Ahuja,” said the wife.

She hasn’t met him since he was arrested on Sunday though she saw him at court. Anupam even refuses to believe the test results which are against Shiney as they prove he raped his 18 year old maid. She said, “Who has seen these tests and how can they be trusted? I do not believe what is appearing in the papers. Every paper has a different story. They said that I was overseas with my daughter which I obviously wasn’t.”

She said that she respects and has complete faith in the Indian judiciary which will prove her husband is innocent. She also added that this case has to be fought in court and not in the media. She went on to say that “even a woman can rape a man.”

When asked what she would do if her husband was proven guilty, she asked, “Can the sun rise from the west? Then how can my husband be guilty?”

She also said that all of Bollywood is supporting her and husband, as she has received messages from people in the industry and “everyone knows he is innocent.”
