Bollywood Star, Sunil Shetty has talked about how proud he is of his daughter Athiya Shetty. Athiya and her husband KL Rahul welcomed their first child together, their baby girl Evaarah, on March 24th. Talking about the situation, Shetty revealed how proud he was when Athiya decided to have the baby naturally, refusing the comfort of C-section.
Sunil Shetty shared how proud and emotional he felt seeing Athiya’s strength and will power to endure such extreme pain willingly when she had an option to get a C-section. He also said that at that particular moment he was convinced that Athiya was ready to be a mother.
“In a world where everybody wants the comfort of having a caesarean baby, she (Athiya Shetty) chose not to do that and had a natural delivery. I remember how every nurse and paediatrician in the hospital said that it’s unbelievable how she went through the whole process. That hit me as a father. I was like, ‘Wow, she’s ready!’ Athiya was very, very strong to do that,” the Bollywood star reflected in a recent interview.
He also credited Athiya’s mother, his wife, Mana Shetty who according to him is a very strong woman. He thinks that Athiya has taken on her mother as far as motherhood is concerned and has embraced it beautifully without a single trace of frown or stress on her face.
Shetty said, “Athiya has embraced motherhood like a fish to water. She’s absolutely fantastic. Every father thinks of their daughters as little babies. I also thought so and wondered if she’ll be able to handle motherhood, but she’s unbelievable! I keep telling Mana every single day about how proud I’m of Athiya. The way she has adapted to this new life and is going about things and went about her delivery makes me feel so proud. She took everything in her stride.”
Sunil Shetty is all set for his next movie, “Kesari Veer” which will be releasing on the big screen soon. The film, directed by Prince Dhiman and Kanubhai Chauhan, will be releasing on the cinema screens on May 23.
