Suniel took to LinkedIn and penned a note. The actor got emotional recalling how life works and states how there is joy in simplest things. He then talks about feeling of becoming a grandfather and shared, “It’s a happiness that’s pure and untouched by anything the world can give or take away. I’ve spent decades building and running businesses, making films, trying to create something meaningful. And I’m proud of that. But when I hold my granddaughter, none of that matters (sic)”.

Reminiscing fond memories from his childhood, the actor gushes, “Off late, my mind keeps going back to my childhood in Mangalore. The simplicity of those summers. Running around barefoot, playing in the open fields, eating the freshest meals made with nothing but love. The joy came from being with family, from nature, from laughter that didn’t cost a thing. Somewhere along the way, I got caught up in the chase. It happens to all of us at some stage in life.“

Shetty continued that after a point, life makes you realise that you are running to chase things which are worth nothing. “I’ve seen the weight of always wanting more. It can steal your peace, bit by bit. You don’t even realise it’s happening until you pause and look around (sic),” he said.

Talking about Athiya, the actor concludes, “Now, with this little one in my arms, seeing my Athiya transition into the most fulfilling role of her life, I find myself feeling lighter. More content. It’s like a reminder from life, telling me to keep things simple. To cherish the everyday. To be free from the weight of wanting more. For me, that’s the luxury I’m truly grateful for.”

On the work front, the actor is gearing up for release of Hera Pheri 3.
