Senior actor Suniel Shetty has revealed that his daughter, Athiya Shetty, has quit movies. Athiya made her acting debut in 2015 with the Salman Khan production Hero. The movie also marked the debut of Sooraj Pancholi. After that, she did only two films — Mubarakan and Motichoor Chaknachoor. All three films failed to gain much appreciation or box office success.
In an interview with Times Now, Suniel Shetty said that his daughter had chosen to step away from the film industry to embrace a new phase of her life — motherhood. Shetty revealed that Athiya received many offers after her last big-screen outing in 2019 with Motichoor Chaknachoor, but she didn’t feel comfortable taking them up.
