Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty recently faced public backlash over some controversial statements, and it turns out his daughter, Athiya Shetty, is his biggest critic, often scolding him for his remarks.
Athiya Keeps Her Dad in Check
Suniel Shetty recently revealed that his daughter, Athiya, closely monitors his interviews and public statements. He openly admitted that she often calls him out when he says something inappropriate.
“Papa, why did you talk? Just say no comment!” Suniel recounted Athiya telling him. He confessed that she is the “only person I fear” when it comes to his public interactions, underscoring her vigilant watch over his words. He also lovingly added that having a baby girl is the best thing in a man’s life.
The Comments That Caused a Stir
Shetty’s recent troubles began after a few of his comments went viral. One remark praised Athiya for having a “natural delivery” for her daughter, Evaarah, rather than opting for a C-section.
He also sparked controversy by suggesting traditional gender roles within a marriage. Suniel stated that a “husband should build the career and the wife should take care of kids,” a comment that led to him being labeled “misogynist” by many online.
He further elaborated on the idea of marriage being a “compromise” where partners need to understand each other’s roles, especially after a child enters the picture.
What’s Next for Suniel Shetty?
Despite the social media uproar, Suniel Shetty continues his work on the big screen. He is set to appear in the upcoming film “Welcome to the Jungle,” alongside a star-studded cast including Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal.
Fans are also looking forward to “Hera Pheri 3,” which is reportedly back on track after some initial production hurdles.
