In a shocking revelation, Suniel Shetty has admitted that his daughter and actress Athiya Shetty has officially given up on films. The Hera Pheri actor spoke out in a recent interview and disclosed that Athiya came to this conclusion after thoroughly contemplating what she really desired in life. With only a handful of films to her credit, the actress has now diverted her attention from Bollywood to her personal life.

Athiya, who had debuted big in 2015 with Hero alongside Sooraj Pancholi, was once regarded as one of the most promising freshers in the industry. But after being seen in movies such as Mubarakan and Motichoor Chaknachoor, she stepped away from acting for a very long time. Fans continued speculating about her return, but now that hope has been buried.

What Suniel Shetty Said About His Daughter’s Decision

Speaking to Zoom, Suniel Shetty shared that Athiya came to him one day and said she no longer wanted to work in films. The actor shared, “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?”

You know, she’s working in the best film, and that is the life, the role of her mother, and she’s loving it.”
