"What a day to choose for such a link-up. My wife Anu, who's in New York, was naturally shocked when I spoke to her about it. It was very embarrassing and painful. More so, since I was being linked with a woman who's senior to me and
someone I respect for her professionalism," Shiney said."I feel very bad for my publicist Tanuja with whom I'm linked. I'm used to link-ups. I can handle it. She was almost in tears,” Shiney added.
Currently, Shiney is shooting with Soha Ali Khan in Goa for Sudhir Mishra's Khoya Khoya Chand.
"We're in Goa for 20 days. Soha is fun to have on the sets. She is very intelligent. I guess it's her inheritance. I've inherited the capacity to love from my parents. And I've passed it all to my wife. She's the only woman in my life. Such link-ups have no effect on my marriage,” Shiney explained.
Shiney has full confidence in his wife but admits that a long-distance marriages such as his are more prone to speculation.
"Anu is marketing head of a big company. She understands how these things work. If she were here with me, my fidelity would never be questioned. I hardly talk to people beyond my work. I'm the last person to have affairs,” Shiney said.
Shiney said his wife is likely to find more time for him now as she has quit her job and started her own business in New York.
"Anu has started her own business in New York, which means she'll be able to spend more time here with me. I also visit her as often as possible. In fact, I was with her in New York last month. We went on a cruise together,” Shiney said.
