Hence, I listen to my wife (Poonam Sinha) and often take her as a shield with me so that even if there's nothing, I can show that I am happily married, my life is good.”

Sinha said that his comment must be taken as a humor and in the times of #MeToo, “there shouldn't be any hesitation to say that behind a successful man's fall is a woman.”

He further added, as reported by NDTV, that “Behind the troubles and infamy of successful men, there have been mostly women that I've seen in this movement.”
