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’s unbelievable how she went through the whole process. That hit me as a father. I was like, ‘Wow, she’s ready!’ Athiya was very, very strong to do that. Not once has she shown any kind of stress or a frown, or indicated that she’s tired and exhausted.,”

This resulted in a huge controversy and now Suneil Shetty came up with the clarification. He said “Before I said anything, both the kids (Athiya and her husband KL Rahul) were with me. Look, it’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’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’s where real respect comes from, beyond just love,”

He added "I don’t want to name the publication, but this is what they’re known for. Still, I always choose to apologise if my words hurt someone. I’m someone who always says sorry first. There were 20–25 women present with us that day, and the comment was twisted completely."

He concluded “I depend on those I have bonds with, they understand me. But when the world judges you without knowing you, it hurts. I’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’s not right to twist such a sensitive topic.”
