On Ahan Shetty’s Big Day, A Note From Dad Suniel Shetty

Ahan Shetty is making his acting debut with the film Tadapon Friday. On the special day, the debutant got a special note from his father, actor Suniel Shetty. Suniel Shetty shared a lovely note for his son on the milestone and attached it to a childhood picture of Ahan Shetty. The lovely caption read like a letter of affection and advice to Ahan Shetty with some incredible life lessons in it. In the caption, Suniel Shetty asked Ahan Shetty to take success and failure on the chin and reminded him that the love of the “public” is all that matters.

In the caption, Suniel Shetty wrote, “Ahan! Your first Friday. Your first film release. Time for Tadap is here and will also go by like every other day. Becoming just another milestone as the movies flash by. But remember one thing. People are true if you are. Don’t take it to heart if they critique you, it’s a learning. Don’t get too punch drunk on praise. It’s a perk. Just stay blessed, grounded, simple, honest, true & the People, the Public – the only followers that matter – will become your friends.”

Summing it up, Suniel Shetty added, “All in all, be as sincere as you were for your first film. Make people love you. Love them back. Like I love you son. Best for your first. Cheers to you.”

Tagging the cast and crew of the film, the actor wrote, “ I join my hands in humility and gratitude. Thank you!” 

Actor Abhishek Bachchan replied with a heart emoji, while actress Sameera Reddy said, “Omg. The sweetest!”
