After the reality show's host Bharti Singh teased Suniel Shetty about what kind of nana he would be, the actor said, "Yes, next season when I come (on the show), I will be walking on the stage like a nana." This revelation by the actor drew a lot of attention, and many were left wondering if his daughter Athiya Shetty is pregnant.

However, as per social media buzz, the couple is not expecting their first child. The report read, "There is no truth in the buzz. Suniel’s nana remark was said in jest and in a very informal way. His remarks have been misinterpreted by all."
