Suniel Shetty revealed his son Ahan Shetty’s struggles in Bollywood, including being removed from projects due to negative press
Suniel Shetty has discussed the challenges his son, Ahan Shetty, is encountering in the film industry. Ahan made his significant Bollywood debut in 2021 with the film Tadap, featuring Tara Sutaria. Since that time, he has not appeared on the big screen, although he is currently engaged in the production of Border 2. Suniel disclosed that Ahan was removed from two film projects and attributes this to individuals disseminating negativity about him in the media. Suniel expressed that if this situation persists, he will not remain silent. He is prepared to convene a press conference and identify those he believes are attempting to undermine his son’s career.
In a recent discussion with Zoom, Suniel Shetty shared that Ahan motivated him to regard Border 2 as the most pivotal project of his career. Suniel stated that he believes the film possesses enduring significance, with the capacity to be revisited by audiences annually, particularly on national holidays such as Independence Day and Republic Day. According to Suniel, Ahan had received offers for multiple projects but chose to pursue Border 2 out of sincere patriotism.
He remarked, “I informed him that this movie will ensure he remains memorable (in the audience’s minds) for decades, similar to how the original Border has kept me relevant. Ahan relinquished numerous opportunities for this film; he missed out on many due to the pride of others. He was dismissed from those films and faced blame in the media. They claimed he has a 10-person entourage; individuals invested substantial amounts to generate negative articles about him. Do you believe I lack connections? Do you think I am incapable of doing the same?”
Suniel further stated, “I still pay for my own meals. I continue to spend my own money, not that of the producer. And that is how Ahan has been brought up. I have refrained from discussing this until now, but I will speak out. All this negativity was orchestrated because Ahan wished to participate in Border 2, while certain individuals desired their films to prosper instead of Border 2. If this continues, I will organize a press conference and reveal every individual involved. Jiski dhajjiyan udani hain, uda dunga.
