Sharing the reason behind maintaining his abs, the Hera Pheri actor said, “I’m 60 plus and the only reason I train my abs is to make sure that I walk straight, I don’t hunch, and I don’t drag my feet.”

Expressing how it’d be significant in his time with his grandchild, Suniel added, “Tomorrow I’ll be able to play with my grandchild without having to take a break every two seconds because the child’s energy is going to be different.”

During the same conversation, Suniel Shetty stated that one should have certain things to be excited for in life. He shared that he looked forward to coming home and spending time with his wife, Mana Shetty. He added that Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul’s newborn daughter was currently the ‘biggest excitement’ in his life.
