Suniel Shetty reveals daughter Athiya Shetty has decided to quit Bollywood: “I’m not interested, I don’t want to do films”
In an interview with Pinkvilla, while promoting his film Kesari Veer, Suniel said, “She said, ‘Baba, I don’t want to,’ and she just left. And that’s what I salute her for saying, ‘I’m not interested. I don’t want to do films.’ After Motichoor Chaknachoor, a lot came her way. ‘But I don’t want to. I’m comfortable, you know?”
Suniel also mentioned that Athiya is now focused on her mommy duties, saying, “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.”
Earlier, in an exclusive interview with News18 Showsha, Suniel Shetty also spoke about Athiya’s decision to step away from films. He shared, “She does not want to do films. After she did Motichoor Chaknachoor, she said ‘I don’t want to be a part of this.’ She works really hard.”
Athiya Shetty’s Bollywood journey began with her debut film Hero (2015), a remake of the 1983 classic, where she starred alongside Sooraj Pancholi. While her performance received mixed reviews, she gained attention for her charming on-screen presence. She later appeared in Mubarakan (2017), a comedy-drama about two friends who were born on the same day and accidentally swapped at birth.
In Motichoor Chaknachoor (2019), Athiya portrayed a young woman eager to marry an NRI, demonstrating her acting versatility and confidence.
Athiya Shetty married cricketer KL Rahul in January 2023 at Suniel Shetty’s Khandala farmhouse. The couple welcomed their first child, a baby girl, on March 24, 2025. They shared a joint post on Instagram that read, “Blessed with a Baby Girl. 24.03.2025. Athiya And Rahul.”
