Athiya Shetty on what she has learnt from her dad

In an interview with NDTV Goodtimes, Athiya shared her experiences as she visited sets as a kid, what made her get into movies and other details about various aspects of her life. During the conversation, she was also asked about what she has learned from her father Suniel Shetty, as an actor. Athiya revealed that she never really saw her father’s movies often as a child as he mostly featured in action movies, and that scared her.

She shared an anecdote from when she was a 6-year-old and was watching Border, the 1997 JP Dutta blockbuster where Suniel Shetty played an army man. As soon as she saw her father dying on-screen, Athiya remembered howling and was surprised when he came back home, following which she didn’t really see his movies. Athiya then shared that she has learned a lot from her father as a human being and that is what she cherishes the most.
