While those feelings were reciprocated by his lady love, also known as the Ambani of Bollywood, Mana Kadri; their parents opposed their union. According to Shetty, his now-wife’s parents thought of him as a Gunda because of his long hair, macho style and image as a player, but they soon came to like Suniel.
