Suniel Shetty hails daughter Athiya Shetty’s decision to quit acting

Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty announced in a recent interview that his daughter Athiya Shetty has quit Bollywood for good. The actress, who marked her debut in 2015, had starred in just three films, and had been MIA since 2019. During a chat with Zoom, Suniel was asked about his daughter’s upcoming projects. To that, he replied that she has decided to quit acting, and also lauded her for her decision.

“She said, ‘Baba, I don’t want to’, and she just left. And that’s what I salute her for saying, ‘I am not interested. I don’t want to do films’,” the Hera Pheri actor said. “After Motichoor Chaknachoor, a lot came her way. ‘But I don’t want to. I am comfortable, you know?’,” he added. Suniel went on to say that Athiya is currently busy with the “best role” of her life — motherhood. “Today, she’s got the best role of her life. You know, she’s working in the best film, and that is the life, the role of her mother and she’s loving it,” he gushed.
