Entering the film industry, doing big commercials, and living a glamorous life full of treasure and leisure is a dream for many, but not all can succeed and enjoy the showbiz life. Some actors who step away from the limelight due to failure in making a successful career, but some personalities willingly quit acting. Meet an actor who was born to a popular Bollywood star, debuted with a Salman Khan production venture, and left showbiz after getting married to a successful cricketer. Well, we are talking about Athiya Shetty! Born to popular Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty and Mana Shetty on November 5, 1992, Athiya Shetty is among the popular Starkids who tried to follow in their parents' footsteps. Before entering the Bollywood film industry, Athiya Shetty completed her schooling at Cathedral and John Connon School and later shifted to the American School of Bombay. She studied acting at the New York Film Academy before starting her Bollywood career. Athiya debuted in Bollywood with Hero (2016), starring opposite Sooraj Pancholi and produced by none other than Salman Khan. The movie was a remake of the 1983 blockbuster romantic action drama of the same name starring Jackie Shroff. Helmed by Nikkhil Advani, the Athiya Shetty starrer couldn't impress the audience much and failed to gain traction at the box office. Post the debacle of her debut film, Athiya Shetty returned to the big screens with Mubarakaan, directed by Anees Bazmee. Though the clean family comedy met with favorable word-of-mouth, it also tanked at the box office. The actress also made a special appearance in Nawabzaade and won praise for the 2019 movie Motichoor Chaknachoor, starring alongside Nawazuddin Siddiqui. However, no film can do much for her acting career. The actress got married to Indian cricketer KL Rahul in 2023, after dating him for a couple of years. The celebrated couple recently became parents to a newborn daughter named Evaarah. Athiya has now quit acting and is enjoying her motherhood.

Suniel Shetty is the modern and coolest nana to Athiya Shetty-KL Rahul's daughter Evaarah and his workout plans say it all
Suniel Shetty's daughter Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul welcomed their first child, Evaarah, earlier this year in March. The couple and their family are currently on cloud nine with the arrival of the little one. Most recently, the proud nana and veteran actor Suniel Shetty spilled the beans on his workout plans that are especially influenced by their little one's arrival. During a recent conversation with The Lallantop, the actor was asked about the newest role he has taken on as 'nana' with the arrival of his granddaughter. In response to this, he was quick to admit being "obsessed" with Evaarah. He stated that he keeps checking his phone and is in a rush to head back home. The veteran actor went on to mention that he is extremely excited about his daughter, Athiya Shetty, and KL Rahul moving into the same building soon. The Hera Pheri 3 actor shared that he has been changing his workout timings, which currently stand at 5:30 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. Therefore, he always remains in a hurry, realizing his nana duties would begin by 6:30, as everyone would be sleeping by then. In addition to this, Shetty also revealed that he goes to meet the little one in the morning, mostly in gym clothes. "Lekin training badal di zyada jhukna, uthana vo kaam kar raha hoon taaki peeth sahi rahe, kyunki bachon ko to baar baar uthana padta hai (I've changed my training because you have to bow down, so I am working on it so that my back remains healthy because one has to repeatedly carry kids)." While many people perceive it to be a joke, Shetty mentioned that it is how he trains himself. He argued that his training has changed, considering how lower back issues start and legs get weakened with age. Therefore, he is training himself to ensure that he walks straight and is able to bow down, play with kids till the time he lives. "So, that's how I think. That's my thinking," he said on a concluding note. Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul welcomed their daughter on March 24. Nearly a month later, they revealed her name, Evaarah, which means "Gift of God."
