Suniel Shetty Bombarded With Maternity Facts After He Praises Daughter Athiya For Avoiding 'Comfort Of A C-Section' For Evaarah's Birth: No Uterus, No Opinion

Suniel Shetty is settling into his life as a grandfather to his daughter Athiya Shetty's baby girl Evaarah. The actor, however, found himself at the center of a controversy as he talked about Athiya's delivery method. He praised her for opting for a natural delivery or vaginal over a c-section, implying that the latter is "comfortable". However, many disagreed with him and trolled him for speaking about women's bodies without knowing the reality of maternity and motherhood.

Suniel said that everybody wants "the comfort of having a caesarean baby" but his daughter Athiya opted for a natural delivery for Evaarah. He also said that the hospital and the delivery staff were impressed by how Athiya endured the whole process of her delivery.

Another social media user wrote, "Now this..because he has so much experience with both that he needs to have an opinion :/ please someone tell him a c-section is not “comfortable” and is much more excruciating in recovery than a “natural” ie vaginal delivery."

Earlier, Suniel had talked about the "real joy" of being a grandfather. The new granddad reflected on his childhood and wrote an emotional note about his feelings.

“It’s funny how life works. You spend years chasing things you think will make you happy. The right roles, the right deals, a larger office, more money, the perfect comeback, more recognition. More everything. But you know what I’ve learned? That real joy mainly comes from the simplest of things. Becoming a grandfather recently – is a feeling I can’t even describe,” wrote Suniel.
