Athiya Shetty is celebrating her birthday today. Her fans across the globe are sending out good wishes on social media. On the occasion of his daughter's birthday, Suniel Shetty walked down memory lane and dug out a priceless picture from her wedding with KL Rahul in January this year.

On Athiya Shetty Birthday 2023, Suniel revisited a beautiful moment from her wedding. Sharing a picture from her Haldi ceremony at the Shettys' farmhouse in Khandala, the veteran actor wrote, "Happy birthday my baby (black heart emoji)."

Reacting to his wish, Athiya commented, "Love you, papa (sic)."

In an interview with Mid-Day in August this year, Suniel gave advice to his son-in-law, cricketer KL Rahul. He said, "Don't be such a beautiful human being, that we seem inferior in front of you. You cannot be such a good boy that everybody believes that this is what goodness is about and not you. That's the kind of child he is. I always tell Athiya you are blessed. I tell her she is blessed, not necessarily the other way around. Of course, Athiya is a beautiful child… My mother, wife, sister, sisters-in-law are all obsessed with him."

After Athiya's wedding, Suniel shared a long LinkedIn post on how he felt nervous when she introduced Rahul at home. He wrote, "I was petrified on my first day on a film set, and almost never showed up. 30 years later I still felt nervous on my first day of filming with the great Rajinikanth Sir.At home, I felt jittery when Athiya was bringing Rahul over to meet us as a family for the first time. Everyone, without exception, knows what fear feels like. We've all faced it at some point - in both, our professional & personal journeys. But here's the thing - what if we treated fear like it could be our ticket to something big? In my years in films and business, I've learned a thing or two about those scary moments. With time, I trained myself to treat fear like little signals that I'm standing on the edge of something great. It's almost like my mind telling me, "Hey pay attention, something important is happening here! Think about it - whenever we've faced something new, whether it's stepping onto a movie set for the first time or diving into a new venture, we naturally feel fear or nervousness. Just like when you're hiking up a steep mountain and your heart pounds, fear is a sign that you're climbing towards a breathtaking view. It's the moment before the curtain rises on a stage where you're about to shine. It's that split second before you take a leap, that could redefine your journey."
