In a conversation with Nikhil Kamath, Suniel Shetty revealed that he faced a lot of criticism during the initial phase of his career and that it not just impacted him but his family too. In the same conversation, Suniel also revealed why he didn’t send his children, Athiya and Ahan to Indian schools and said:
“I made sure that I did not send my kids to an Indian school, but (to the one which) was headed by an American board and had faculty that was American because I did not want anybody to treat them either special, as a celebrity kid or pan them for whose children they are. I said let them go into a world that doesn’t care who they are and somewhere down the line, I think that worked for me. I still remember my dad saying ‘that’s a lot of money’."

Suniel Shetty’s kids, Ahan and Athiya have followed their dad’s footsteps and ventured into the world of acting. In the same conversation, Suniel Shetty also shared that he never forced his kids to choose acting as their profession. Recalling how Athiya showed interest in acting, the doting dad said:
“It’s their decision. As a matter of fact, we went to Atlanta for Athiya, she saw the college, everything done, loved it, got admission. On our way back, she told me at the airport ‘You know papa, I am not really happy doing this.’ I asked ‘What do you want to do?’ She said ‘I want to be in the business of films and entertainment. I said ‘Baby, it’s a lovely place, but will you be able to accept failure?’ because that is very stressful. That Friday kills me every time and it’s the anxiety that kills me, and nothing else."
Talking about Ahan Shetty and Athiya Shetty’s acting career, Athiya made her acting debut in 2015 in the film, Hero and was later seen in movies like Mubarakan and Motichoor Chaknachoor. On the other hand, her brother, Ahan began his acting career in the year 2021 with the action romance, Tadap.
