WEB DESK: In a surprising revelation, Suniel Shetty has shared that his daughter, actress Athiya Shetty, has officially stepped back from Bollywood. The veteran actor opened up in a recent interview, explaining that Athiya made a conscious choice to pursue a different path after reflecting deeply on her passions and life goals.
Athiya, who made her debut in 2015 with Hero alongside Sooraj Pancholi, quickly gained attention as a promising newcomer. Despite her early promise, her subsequent films—such as Mubarakan and Motichoor Chaknachoor—did not lead to a sustained acting career. Over time, fans speculated about her possible return to the silver screen, but those hopes appear to have been laid to rest.
Suniel Shetty shared that Athiya approached him personally and expressed her desire to leave the film industry. He revealed, “She said, ‘Baba, I don’t want to,’ and she simply decided to move on. I respect her honesty and courage in saying she’s not interested anymore. After Motichoor Chaknachoor, many offers came her way, but she chose to prioritize her comfort and happiness.”
This heartfelt admission marks a new chapter in Athiya Shetty’s life, as she shifts her focus from Bollywood to personal pursuits. Fans and industry insiders alike are now wishing her the best in her new journey.
