Actor Suniel Shetty’s daughter Athiya Shetty made a rather quite entry into Bollywood with her debut flick ‘Hero’ in 2015, and ever since she hasn’t been a screen fodder for the Indian media.
But her father, who is a known Bollywood figure, is happy with the professional choices that his daughter Athiya is making.
Commercial ads a new career?
Sharing a poster of Athiya’s commercial ad for a cosmetic brand, Suniel posted: “Athiya Shetty looking gorgeous as always Tia. Good to see the patient choices you are making… a perfect first commercial,” said Sunil Shetty while remarking about his daughter.
The emerging actress will next be seen in ‘Mubarakan’, written and directed by Anees Bazmee, starring Arjun Kapoor and Anil Kapoor.
Athiya Shetty says Bollywood was “totally new” to her when she debuted in Hero, as she didn’t frequent the sets of her dad’s films. “I never knew anything about Bollywood before I signed Hero. I didn’t have any connection with movies except for the fact that my father was an actor.
She added: “I never went on the sets with him, so everything was new for me. I had an amazing experience and received a lot of love. As time unfolds, I will be able to understand more about myself and the industry. It is a learning process for me.”
The actor says that her perception of the industry changed soon after she started working and she feels “happiest on the set”. Athiya says, “I remember that after my first shot, I told my parents that I want to do this for the rest of my life. I hope I have the opportunity to do that. I felt extremely grateful. I am very critical about myself, so,
I feel there is a long way to go before I feel like I have achieved something. I have seen my father and his journey and how he got his first film. That was a sense of achievement for him. I didn’t get the chance [to be an actor] on a golden platter, but I won’t be naïve and say us [star kids] don’t have it easy. I feel blessed that I have the opportunities.”
Let’s take a look at her pictures…
