Suniel
Shetty,
whose
daughter
Athiya
Shetty
and
son
Ahan
Shetty
are
following
his
footsteps
and
exploring
acting,
opened
up
about
the
debate
on
nepotism
in
their
context.
Suniel
shared
that
hearing
about
his
kids
names
dragged
into
the
nepotism
debate
doesn't
irritate
or
anger
him,
but
it
upsets
him.
He
wishes
his
kids
get
recognized
for
their
own
hard
work
and
talent.
Speaking
to
Hindustan
Times,
Suniel
said,
"I
never
get
irritated
or
angry,
it
upsets
me.
It
hurts
me,
more
than
anything
else.
It
is
Athiya's
destiny
and
hard
work,
which
she
will
prove.
Motichoor
Chaknachoor
wasn't
a
big
film,
and
had
a
lot
of
problems
because
of
the
producer.
Somewhere
down
the
line,
she
got
appreciated
tremendously,
and
that's
exactly
what
it
is.
She
chose
the
subject
that
she
wanted
to
do.
Every
child
in
this
world
has
the
right
to
follow
their
dream."
For
those
who
don't
know,
Motichoor
Chaknachoor
was
a
2019
film
which
starred
Athiya
and
Nawazuddin
Siddiqui.
Although
the
film
did
poorly
at
the
box
office,
the
actors
were
praised
for
their
performances
in
it.
Suniel
continued
to
say,
"Don't
push
your
children
for
education,
or
achieve
this
much.
Educating
them
is
our
responsibility
as
parents,
but
let
them
choose
their
destiny.
What
has
this
Covid
19
pandemic
proved?
You
need
to
be
happy,
and
internally
strong.
On
one
side,
I
am
trying
to
give
so
many
other
kids
an
opportunity
through
my
initiative."
"That
way,
I
have
2,72,000
and
two
children.
For
me,
all
are
equal.
For
me,
more
than
opportunity,
it
was
this
bloody
exploitation
of
talent
that
used
to
happen,
financially,
mentally,
physically,
casting
couch,
so
I
wanted
that
if
you
have
talent,
you
will
get
work," he
said,
talking
about
his
initiative
focused
on
helping
people
find
jobs.
