Suniel Shetty calls granddaughter Evaarah Athiya 2.0

BOLLYWOOD: Actor Suniel Shetty shares his joy and happiness of becoming a grandfather as he spends more time with his granddaughter Evaarah.

In a recent interview with The Times of India, Suniel shared that he and his wife Mana Shetty have been actively looking forward to this new role in their lives. He called it the best feeling in the world, stating, “Mul se sut pyaara (interest is far more loved than the capital).” “Evaarah is Athiya 2.0 for me”

Suniel added that "Life is not hectic. That's the way my life was always. I work and come back home, and I do that with much more excitement now. I look forward to returning home and spending time with Mana and the baby. The biggest excitement in my life now is that child. And now I want to do everything with my granddaughter that I probably missed out on with Athiya and my son Ahan, because I was constantly working. I was on call 24X7 with my work. Of course, I manage my time to the best of my ability. But today I need to do more. Evaarah is Athiya 2.0 for me," the actor said.

Suniel is currently busy shooting the third part of the cult film Hera Pheri. The actor will reunite with the original cast, including Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal, after a gap of 25 years, under the direction of Priyadarshan. "The beauty of that is that it never felt like it had been 25 years. It is just that we are looking different and now have different get-ups, but otherwise we are the same. We are just going to miss Om Puri dearly. He was one of the pillars of Hera Pheri 1," the actor said. Hera Pheri 3 is slated to release in 2026.
