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 Sinha acknowledged mistakes in past relationships openly
The ‘Kala Patthar’ actor admitted that he had made mistakes in his personal life, explaining the reasons behind them, “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.”Although he avoided naming Reena Roy, he expressed his gratitude towards her, “I am grateful to her. I have received lots of love from her, and have learnt a lot. I have no complaints.”

The ‘Khudgarz’ actor also reflected on the mental and emotional toll his situation had on him, “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 further added, “I want to say, its not just the girls involved in the love triangle that are suffering, the man equally suffers.
