Veteran Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty recently shared a heartwarming and unusual story about his 15-month-old granddaughter, Evaarah, offering a rare glimpse into his family life during an interview. The story, which quickly caught public traction, revolves around the toddler’s spontaneous morning routine that the actor described as both “magical” and deeply surprising.
Evaarah, the daughter of actress Athiya Shetty and cricketer KL Rahul, reportedly follows a unique daily habit at home. According to Suniel Shetty, the toddler interacts with a spiritual children’s book placed in their household temple area. The book features various devotional images, including a photograph of Prime Minister Narendra Modi placed alongside images of Sai Baba.
Shetty shared that every morning, without any prompting from family members, Evaarah points toward the photograph of the Prime Minister and repeatedly says “Modi Ji, Modi Ji.” He also mentioned that she independently takes ‘laddus’ traditional sweets offered in the household temple and places them in front of the image as part of her routine. The actor described the behavior as something that has developed naturally, without any instruction or influence from adults around her.
The comment has sparked curiosity among fans and media outlets alike, especially due to Shetty’s emotional framing of the experience. He referred to Evaarah as a “2.0 version of Athiya,” emphasizing how she reflects a new, lively generation within the family. He also affectionately calls her the “Ghar ki Lakshmi,” suggesting that her presence has brought renewed joy and positivity into their home.
Beyond the anecdote, Suniel Shetty also reflected on his personal journey as a grandfather. He revealed that he has adjusted his daily schedule, including early morning gym sessions, to ensure he spends quality time with his granddaughter. The actor expressed that grandparenthood has allowed him to relive moments of early childhood that he may have missed during his busiest years in the film industry.
The timing of this interview also coincides with Shetty’s promotional activities for his upcoming film Welcome To The Jungle, the third installment of the popular Welcome franchise, where he reunites with actor Akshay Kumar. As is often the case during promotional tours, personal stories from celebrities tend to become part of the broader narrative, helping audiences connect with them beyond the screen.
While the anecdote has generated mixed reactions online, it has also highlighted the growing interest in celebrity family moments and how such stories shape public perception in the age of constant media visibility.
