Suniel Shetty: Ahan and I work hard towards our fitness
The saying 'like father, like son' fits the Shetty family perfectly. Just as Suniel Shetty embraced fitness in his youth, his son and actor Ahan also committed himself to a healthy lifestyle from an early age.
But it's not just a bond between father and son—Suniel reveals that this dedication to health and fitness began a generation earlier, with his own father.
Offering insight into how fitness values have been passed down through the family, Suniel shared, 'My father didn't go to a gym, but he would walk 15 kms a day. He was someone who believed in eating right and having half an hour of sleep, which he called the powernap in the afternoon.
I remember whenever his car used to get stuck at the Kemps Corner because of traffic, he would just get down and start walking towards the restaurant he ran.
'
Clearly, these habits left a mark. Suniel inherited this disciplined lifestyle from his father, and today, his children are continuing that legacy. When asked which of his children—Ahan or Athiya—is more inclined towards fitness, Suniel quickly replied, 'It was always Ahan.

Well, Ahan and I had to work towards our fitness. Athiya has always been someone who is lean and sporty. She used to swim. But Ahan and I had to put in lot of effort.
Fitness keeps you mentally balanced. After a tough 2-3 years it was his fitness, zest for sports and life that has kept Ahan going and now he's doing so well.'
Suniel spoke to us at the launch of Aquatein's collagen water, where he serves as brand ambassador. The protein water and functional beverage brand, founded by Ananth Prabhala and Mitisha Mehta, focuses on wellness and nutrition.
Talking about the benefits of such products, he said, 'It's the kind of water that doesn't bloat you. Staying hydrated is important plus you get the benefit of protein. So, if you are training and are active you get its benefits.
'
The actor, who was seen in films like Kesari Veer and Nadaaniyan this year, also expressed his happiness over the growing interest in diverse sports across India. He remarked, 'The best thing that has happened post lockdown is that I am seeing a lot of sports has come up, the grounds and multiple avenues opened up and now people are playing paddle, pickle ball, soccer and cricket. Today you hear a lot of noise where kids are busy playing sports.
This kind of noise pollution I don't mind (laughs).'

Super Dancer Chapter 5: Contestant Shanky's tearful tribute to his ailing mother as she joins me through a video call
The stage of Super Dancer Chapter 5 has always been filled with electrifying performances, but some moments go beyond entertainment — they touch the soul. One such deeply emotional moment will come from contestant Shankal Gupta, affectionately known as Shanky, whose performance became a tribute to his ailing mother. This season, the show celebrated mothers by inviting them to perform alongside their children. But for Shanky, the moment turned bittersweet as his mother, Seema, couldn't be present on set due to health concerns. Despite her absence, her spirit and love were very much felt — thanks to a surprise video call arranged by the production team. Shanky's father stepped in to perform with him, and as the two danced, Seema watched with moist eyes on the call. 'I'm happy that Shanky's father is performing in my place,' Seema said, fighting back tears. 'All the mothers are performing, only I am not there with Shanky. I am feeling very upset. I wish I could have been there.' In response, judge Geeta Kapur shared a message of warmth and reassurance: 'You are very much here with us. We all are praying for your speedy recovery so you can soon join us on the show.'
