In a recent interview, Suniel Shetty shared a piece of advice for his daughter Athiya Shetty on the secrets to a successful marriage. "Be someone who believes in your partner blindly. Trust him completely. He is an athlete, he will travel, you will not be able to travel with him all the time. Just like actors, athletes see highs and lows." He also warned his son-in-law KL Rahul to not be "such a beautiful human being that we seem inferior when it comes to you". "Don't be such a good boy that everyone believes that this is what goodness is all about and not you. That's the kind of a child he is. I always tell Athiya, you are blessed, not necessarily the other way around. Athiya is a beautiful child, but my wife, mother, sisters-in-law, and sister are all obsessed with Rahul."
