‘Obsessed’ Grandpa Suniel Shetty Shares Changing His Fitness Regime To Keep Pace With Baby Evaarah
Actor Suniel Shetty is embracing a new chapter in life — that of a doting grandfather — and he's loving every moment of it. Following the arrival of his daughter Athiya Shetty and cricketer KL Rahul’s baby girl, Evaarah, Suniel has found a renewed purpose, one that’s making him alter his lifestyle and daily routine to cherish these early moments of grandparenthood.
In a heartfelt and candid conversation with Lallantop, the actor shared how his world now revolves around his granddaughter and how being a grandfather has even reshaped his fitness goals.
Suniel admits he's obsessed with his granddaughter
When asked about his bond with Evaarah, Suniel shared, “I’m obsessed with the baby. I keep checking my phone or running home every day. The most exciting part is that she’s going to move into the same building soon. That’s what I’m looking forward to the most. I’m even changing my workout schedule — I now finish everything by 6:30 am so that my duties as a grandfather can begin, while the others in the house are still resting.”
Suniel says he’s altered his training for baby Evaarah
He further added, “I’ve changed my training, too. I’m now focusing more on bending, lifting — all the things that’ll help keep my back strong. Because with babies, you have to pick them up again and again. People think I’m joking, but my training has actually changed because of this. As you age, the body tends to bend more, lower back issues crop up, legs get weaker. So my training is all about making sure I can walk straight, bend comfortably, and play with the kids — for as long as I’m around.”
Athiya and Rahul embrace parenthood
Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul welcomed their daughter on March 24 this year. The couple later introduced her to the world through a tender photo of Athiya gazing lovingly at her daughter, who was cradled in Rahul’s arms. The caption read: “Our baby girl, our everything. Evaarah/इवारा ~ Gift of God.”
Suniel Shetty’s recent and upcoming projects
On the work front, Suniel was last seen in Kesari Veer, directed by Prince Dhiman. The film, which featured Sooraj Pancholi, Vivek Oberoi, and Akanksha Sharma, received mixed-to-negative reviews, with criticism directed at its storyline and visual effects.
Next, Suniel will be seen in the highly anticipated Welcome to the Jungle, a multi-starrer featuring Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Arshad Warsi, Sanjay Dutt, Disha Patani, Raveena Tandon, and Lara Dutta. The film is slated for a December release.
