Suneil Shetty clarifies on normal delivery comments. Recently Suneil Shetty became a proud grandfather when his daughter Athiya Shetty gave birth to a baby girl.
During that time, Suneil Shetty came up with comments on normal delivery and C-section. He said "In a world where everybody wants the comfort of having a caesarean baby, she chose not to do that and had a natural delivery. I remember how every nurse and paediatrician in the hospital said that it&rsquo;s unbelievable how she went through the whole process. That hit me as a father. I was like, &lsquo;Wow, she&rsquo;s ready!&rsquo; Athiya was very, very strong to do that. Not once has she shown any kind of stress or a frown, or indicated that she&rsquo;s tired and exhausted.,&rdquo;
This resulted in a huge controversy and now Suneil Shetty came up with the clarification. He said &ldquo;Before I said anything, both the kids (Athiya and her husband KL Rahul) were with me. Look, it&rsquo;s very easy to take two lines out of a 200-line conversation and sensationalise them. I respect women deeply. Of course, I know the toll a C-section takes - recovery can take up to six months, there&rsquo;s surgery, feeding, and emotional stress. What I meant was, nowadays, people plan the birth date in advance with C-sections. I was trying to say that every father should be present during the delivery to truly understand what it means for a woman to become a mother. That&rsquo;s where real respect comes from, beyond just love,&rdquo;
He added "I don&rsquo;t want to name the publication, but this is what they&rsquo;re known for. Still, I always choose to apologise if my words hurt someone. I&rsquo;m someone who always says sorry first. There were 20&ndash;25 women present with us that day, and the comment was twisted completely."
He concluded &ldquo;I depend on those I have bonds with, they understand me. But when the world judges you without knowing you, it hurts. I&rsquo;ll never forget how I was wronged. There were 25 women present, some with tears in their eyes. And yet, two lines were picked up and sensationalised. It&rsquo;s not right to twist such a sensitive topic.&rdquo;
