Action veteran and entrepreneur Suniel Shetty has given fans a heartwarming glimpse into his life as a doting grandfather, sharing a unique and purely accidental daily habit of his 15-month-old granddaughter, Evaarah.
Speaking in conversation, the actor detailed the morning routine of his daughter Athiya Shetty and cricketer KL Rahul’s toddler. Shetty revealed that the child has developed an unprompted fixation on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, displaying a level of reverence that has completely astonished the household.
According to the veteran star, the fascination inadvertently trace-backs to an encounter at an airport where one of Evaarah’s nannies casually pointed out a picture of the Prime Minister. Since that day, the toddler has established her own routine. “Every morning, she opens a Sai Baba book which also has a photo of Modi ji,” Shetty shared. “She says ‘Modi ji.’ She gets sweets from Ganpati ji’s idol at home and offers it to that photo. I did not ask her to do this, neither did her parents ask her to do this. There is something about this. There is something magical.”
“I have always said I am a huge fan of him. I am not talking about a political party; I am talking about a singular leader. If a leader excites me, he excites me. As much as I love my country, I love my man. There is something profoundly magnetic about his presence.” — Suniel Shetty

The “Athiya 2.0” Phase Bringing Profound Fulfillment
While the actor’s statements inevitably sparked a flurry of polarized reactions on microblogging platforms like X (formerly Twitter) ranging from fans praising the pure innocence of the toddler to critics questioning the intersection of celebrity households and political imagery Shetty maintains it is an innocent reflection of a leader’s distinct aura. Clarifying his stance, the actor explained that his admiration is purely character-centric rather than partisan driven.
Beyond the viral socio-political anecdote, Suniel Shetty opened up about how much joy grandparenthood has injected into his structured lifestyle. Having previously told reporters that Evaarah is exactly like her mother Athiya labeling her an upgraded “2.0 version” the actor admitted that he structure-plans his business commitments entirely around her schedule. Following his strict morning fitness regimen between 5:30 AM and 7:00 AM, every spare minute is dedicated exclusively to playing with the toddler, whom he affectionately refers to as the absolute ghar ki Lakshmi (the prosperity of the home).
