Suniel Shetty
Actor Suniel Shetty has been an active part of the film industry for over 30 years. The actor, who is in his 60s, is ageing like fine wine and continues to entertain audiences with new roles. He has also been vocal about industry-related issues and has often spoken up on matters that concern him. For some time now, the industry has been witnessing a debate around work culture, especially regarding long working hours. When asked about his views in an interview with mid-day, Shetty said he does not believe in overextending oneself and stressed the importance of taking breaks.
“I’ve lived my life the way I have. Even being a part of the industry, I have only made sure that I work during my work hours. If it’s a 9 to 6, I would expect it to be 9 to 6. If my producer is in trouble, I’ll do a 9 to 9 the next morning, but that understanding is important; otherwise, you can’t get the best output from me,” he said.
