Suniel Shetty Joyfully Awaits His First Grandchild as Due Date Approaches
Suniel Shetty is filled with excitement as he prepares for the arrival of his first grandchild. His daughter, Athiya Shetty, and her husband, cricketer KL Rahul, announced their pregnancy news back in November 2024, revealing that they would welcome their first child in the coming year. Suniel has recently disclosed that the baby is expected in April 2025.
In a conversation with Hindustan Times, Suniel expressed that discussions in the family have predominantly revolved around the impending arrival of the baby. “Right now, probably the grandchild. There’s no other conversation, and we don’t want any other conversation. We’re just looking forward to meeting the grandchild in April,” he stated, showcasing his anticipation for this new chapter in their family.
The well-known actor, recognized for his role in the film Hera Pheri, also reflected on the beauty associated with pregnancy. He fondly remembered how radiant his wife, Mana Shetty, appeared during her own pregnancy. “I see Athiya, and she’s looking the most beautiful,” he remarked, emphasizing the joy of witnessing this special moment in his daughter’s life.
Athiya and KL Rahul shared their pregnancy announcement last year through a heartfelt post on Instagram. The couple, who married in 2023 at Suniel Shetty’s Khandala farmhouse, expressed their joy with the message: “Our beautiful blessing is coming soon. 2025.” The announcement was accompanied by a charming image of tiny baby feet and an evil eye symbol, reflecting their hopes for protection over the child.
On the professional front, Suniel Shetty is preparing for upcoming film projects that include the fifth installment of the Welcome franchise, titled Welcome To The Jungle, where he will star alongside Akshay Kumar and an ensemble cast. Additionally, he is set to reprise his beloved character in Hera Pheri 3, with filming slated to commence between August and September 2025.
