Suniel Shetty says people may have tried to remove Ahan Shetty from movies due to issues with him: 'Mere se naaraaz honge but he is a part of Border 2, Varun, Diljit treat him like a brother'
Suniel Shetty has opened up about the challenges his son Ahan Shetty has faced in the film industry, claiming that Ahan was deliberately sidelined from multiple projects after signing on for Border 2. The original 1997 war drama, in which Suniel played a significant role, holds a special place in Indian cinema. Now, years later, Ahan is stepping into the spotlight with a major role in its sequel. In a recent chat with Instant Bollywood, Suniel was asked how Ahan could be removed from films despite being his son. Suniel had earlier said that many people tried that Ahan is not a part of the film. He replied candidly, saying, 'That doesn't matter. Maybe mujhse galti hui hogi and mujhse naaraaz honge (May be I had done a mistake, and they are angry with me), and they want to take it out on somebody else. You can't change destiny. Ahan is very much a part of Border 2, and it is because of this film that he has gained so much appreciation, and he got friends like Varun Dhawan and Diljit Dosanjh . They love him like a younger brother.' He also spoke about whether he feels the need to protect Ahan from the harsh realities of the film world, given his own experiences over the years. 'In anything, you will have to do hard work. There are no shortcuts, and Ahan's first film did well during the pandemic and the film did business of Rs 35-40 crores and had an opening of Rs 4-5 crore even during the pandemic. Fingers crossed, I hope Border 2 crosses Rs 500 crore, and I pray Ahan is also appreciated along with Sunny Deol, Varun, and Diljit,' he shared. He further said, "Ahan has now got some great movies, not because he's my son but because he's got a personality, a great voice and he's a really good student. He looks up to people, respects people. He's got many traits of my further." Suniel also praised the success of Saiyaara, which stars debutants Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda. He called it a milestone moment for the industry. 'It is unbelievable. There is no substitute to hard work, and that is Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda's story. Now it is a big responsibility because they have given a new generation a chance, and maybe this is the turning point for the industry where producers might think that youngsters should get more opportunities.
