He then addressed his relationship reports and said, “I wouldn’t take names. But, I am grateful to all the women who were part of my life. I don’t have any grudges against anybody. I never think ill of them. They have all helped me grow and become a better person."
Shatrughan accepted that he was in a relationship with Poonam and Reena. “I have definitely made mistakes in my life. It was natural for a boy, who had come all the way from Patna to get lost in the glitz and glamour of the industry. I didn’t know how to deal with stardom. People get lost in all this. I didn’t have any guardian to guide me. However, after Poonam came in my life, she helped me a lot," he said.
Although he refused to take Reena’s name, Shatrughan said, “I am grateful to her. I have received lots of love from her, and have learnt a lot. I have no complaints."
“When a man is good at heart, and he is having two committed relationships simultaneously, he too suffers a lot in terms of his mental and physical health. You also feel guilty. When you are out with your lover, you feel guilty for your wife at home and when you are with your wife, you feel bad for your lover: Usko khilona banake kyu rakha hai?’" he shared.
The actor concluded his confession by saying, “I want to say, its not just the girls involved in the love triangle that are suffering, the man equally suffers. He struggles to get out of the situation even when he wants to."
Shatrughan Sinha and Reena Roy first met on the sets of their 1976 film, Kalicharan. They went on to do films such as Milap, Sangram, Sat Sri Akal, and Chor Ho To Aisa. Through the journey, they grew closer but their paths headed into different directions. Shatrughan announced his wedding to Poonam. In his memoir, Anything But Khamosh, Shatrughan revealed he was with Reena Roy hours before his wedding with Poonam. They were in London, as part of their show.
