Shiney Ahuja might become the marvel boy of the Bollywood. But he is very sensitive inside. He can get hurt easily. He takes every small small thing on his heart. That’s why he says that why his name is taken in into every controversy in the town. He says that just because he is not reacting in any of such things, people are taken him granted and media also adds spice to their stories and that too without checking the facts with him.
