Sunil Shetty has recently made such a statement which is now well discussed. Sunil and wife Mana Shetty have two children, Athiya and Ahan. Daughter Athiya recently got married to Indian cricketer KL Rahul in a grand ceremony.

Recently, in an interview, Suniel shared the reason behind not sending Ahan and Athiya to Indian schools.

Suniel recalled the struggle of his initial years in the industry when film critics slammed his films. He said it not only impacted him but also his family.

“I made sure that I did not send my kids to an Indian school, but (to the one which) was headed by an American board and had faculty that was American because I did not want anybody to treat them either special, as a celebrity kid or pan them for whose children they are.

I said let them go into a world that doesn’t care who they are and somewhere down the line, I think that worked for me. I still remember my dad saying ‘That’s a lot of money.

Shetty revealed that he never ‘nudged’ his kids to be actors. He also shared how Athiya decided to be an actress. He added, "It’s their decision. As a matter of fact, we went to Atlanta for Athiya, she saw the college, everything done, loved it, got admission.

On our way back, she told me at the airport ‘You know papa, I am not really happy doing this.’ I asked ‘What do you want to do?’ She said ‘I want to be in the business of films and entertainment. I said ‘Baby, it’s a lovely place, but will you be able to accept failure?’ because that is very stressful.
