Suniel Shetty Reveals How Athiya Reacts To His Viral Statements ..?
Suniel Shetty data-faced backlash for past comments on childbirth and career roles, deemed misogynistic. He revealed that his daughter Athiya often scolds him for his controversial statements.
Now, in a candid chat with Zoom, the actor opened up about how his daughter Athiya often pulls him up for such remarks.
“I avoid controversial questions during promotional activities. I’m the kind of person who sometimes wants to answer, and then I mess up. And then I have Athiya at home saying, ‘Papa, why did you talk? Just say no comment!’ She keeps reminding me not to say anything that could get us into trouble the next day. She tracks all my interviews, and honestly, that’s the only person I fear. The best thing for a man to have is a baby girl in his life,” he said.
“Marriage after a while becomes a compromise where you have to understand each other. Then a child comes into the picture, and the wife needs to understand that if the husband is building his career, she will need to take care of the child. Of course, the husband will also be involved. But these days, there is just too much pressure in everything,” he had said.
The remarks were widely condemned online, with many calling him ‘misogynistic’ and out of touch with modern parenting dynamics.

Backlash Over Past Statements
In a previous interview with Pinkvilla, Suniel was criticised for saying that a wife should understand her husband’s career needs after childbirth.“Marriage after a while becomes a compromise where you have to understand each other. Then a child comes into the picture, and the wife needs to understand that if the husband is building his career, she will need to take care of the child. Of course, the husband will also be involved. But these days, there is just too much pressure in everything,” he had said.
