When Shatrughan talked about extra-marital affair

Veteran actor

Shatrughan Sinha

once held nothing back at the Jaipur Literature Festival in 2016, where he candidly opened up about his life’s ups and downs. With an audience hanging on to every word, Sinha shared personal details, including a past

extra-marital affair

.
“It has been mentioned in the book. I was caught red-handed by my wife. She made me promise her that I would never do it again. I have always maintained I am a one-woman man,” he had reaveled. The actor then added humorously, noting that before marriage, his dilemma was not whom to marry, but rather whom not to marry. "Before I got married, my problem was not whom to marry, but rather whom not to marry,” he had said.

In his lighthearted style, Sinha had admitted to another quirk - his chronic lateness in an old interview. He confessed he was even three hours late to his own

wedding

with

Poonam Sinha

.

Shatrughan and Poonam’s love story began on a moving train on June 27, 1965, when they sat across from each other, both quietly emotional. Impressed by him, Poonam’s aunt gave

Shatrughan

their Mumbai address, which sparked a 14-year friendship that eventually blossomed into marriage.

In a past interview with The

Times of India

, Shatrughan spoke warmly of Poonam, calling her the “backbone” of their family. He credited her for making it possible for him to balance both his film and political careers, saying, “She is a great lady who has been the pillar of strength. Home has been her first priority.” Even during outdoor shoots,

Poonam

never left the kids behind, solidifying her role as the family's anchor.
Shatrughan and Poonam have three children - Sonakshi Sinha, Luv Sinha and
