And with the courts being shut on Gandhi Jayanti today, he won't come out of Arthur Road jail until tomorrow.

"But it doesn't matter. I've waited three months. I don't mind waiting one more day," said his wife Anupam.

Anupam said she was so shocked to hear about the bail that she didn't know how to react.

Mera Piya Ghar Aaya: Anupam Ahujau00a0 stood by her husband throughout the ordeal.

"It just goes to prove that the law of the country is trustworthy. I have a feeling Shiney will never have to go back to jail. God has tested us enough."


Shiney, she said, can't wait to be with their daughter Arshiya. "When I last met Shiney in court on September 25, he told me that he had dreamt of our daughter.

And the same day my parents in Delhi told me Arshiya had woken up calling out 'Papa'. I saw that as a premoniti-on for Shiney's freedom."

And now begins the process of Shiney's re-acclimatisation to normal life. "He needs to heal physically and emotionally.

Now, begins the second phase of my struggle. But I don't feel any bitterness," she said.u00a0Bollywood welcomes Shiney's bail

The Case So Far

Shiney was arrested on June 14 after his housemaid (18), told the police that he had raped her in his apartment when it was empty.

Medical tests confirmed the rape, but his wife Anupam claimed he was innocent. Certain reports also claimed that Shiney had confessed to the crime during initial interrogation.

When Shiney appeared at the Sewri fast track court last Saturday, he was in pain due to a slipped disc and burst into tears.

The court ordered medical treatment for him. Charges are likely to be framed against Shiney on October 7.
