The post, which quickly garnered thousands of likes and comments, reflects the bond the couple has shared for over three decades. Suniel Shetty and Mana Shetty’s love story has often been spoken about in the industry. Mana, who was born as Monisha Qadri, comes from a Muslim background. She is the daughter of a Gujarati Muslim architect and a Punjabi social activist. Despite cultural differences, their love stood strong. Initially, Suniel Shetty’s parents were hesitant about the marriage, but the actor had made up his mind to marry Mana. The couple eventually tied the knot in 1991, after years of courtship.
Mana Shetty has built her own identity as well, beyond being Suniel Shetty’s wife. She has been involved in several philanthropic initiatives and also manages her real estate business. The couple are proud parents to two children, son Ahaan Shetty and daughter Athiya Shetty. While Ahaan made his debut with Tadap in 2021, Athiya has acted in films like Hero and Motichoor Chaknachoor. Athiya is married to cricketer KL Rahul, making Mana Shetty his mother-in-law.
Suniel Shetty, who often describes his wife as his biggest strength, continues to share glimpses of their life on social media. His latest birthday wish for her not only highlighted their journey from teenage years to senior milestones but also showcased the enduring companionship between the two.
