If Some one has shared his private repository to me than whenever I tries to push on that private repository it always asks me for username and password. But I have already added my private key in ssh-keys on my personal repository using How To Add SSH Key

Now I can manage to push on my personal repository but not on other's private repository shared to me using ssh private key. Why? Is there a way to push on private repository with out adding my private key to other user's ssh keys.

Asking for the username and password means that you are using an https url for that repo. 

https://username@github.com/anotherUsername/aGitRepoName.git

You should use the ssh url (git@github.com:USERNAME/REPOSITORY.git), which requires for your public key to be added to that private repo, making you a collaborator.
You would never need to add your private key anywhere, since it is... private.
