Suniel Shetty: I love KL Rahul, want Athiya and him to take the decision on marriage -Exclusive!

There have been rumours doing the rounds that Athiya Shetty will tie-the-knot with her long-time boyfriend KL Rahul in December. The reports also revealed that it will be an intimate wedding ceremony.


Recently at a business event, ETimes spoke to Suniel Shetty and we asked the actor about his daughter’s wedding rumours.


Reacting to the conjecture,

Shetty calmly said, “She is my daughter, she will get married sometime. I would want my son to also get married, the sooner the better. It's their choice. As far as KL Rahul is concerned, I love the boy. And it is for them to decide what they want to do, because times have changed. Beti aur beta dono hi responsible hai (My daughter and son are both responsible people). I would like them to take the decision. My blessings are always there for them.”




The conversation didn’t stop there. We asked the actor about his take on

Bollywood

celebrities endorsing tobacco and other products for which a lot of stars have been trolled. The actor was also dragged into the fray by Twitterati after being mistaken as Ajay Devgn in the tobacco ad.



Talking about the same, Suniel said, “As far as tobacco is concerned, people have asked me you are 61 now and still not growing old. Buddha nahi ho raha hoon issi wajah se ki na hi tambaaku na hi paan, har woh cheez jo mujhe lagta hai galat hai woh main consume nahi karta (I am not getting old because I don't consume gutkha, paan or anything I feel is bad for health). People drink and they might live more than me so I think to each its own. Alcohol sells and that’s why it gets advertised. Tobacco gets sold and hence, it gets advertised. The ones who don’t wish to use it, can avoid it. I refrain from everything. Bollywood industry mein bahut kucch hota hai (A lot happens in Bollywood), I refrain from it. That doesn’t mean I am a saint. Main na hi bhagwaan hoon na hi saint hoon (I am no God, no saint). Bahut saari khaamiya mujh mein bhi hai (There are lots of vices within me, too). My name was being dragged into the situation by a Twitterati and his display picture had spectacles, so I didn’t lose my cool but simply asked him to change his specs so that he sees that I am not the one who is endorsing tobacco. I don’t even eat much sweets or eat too much food either.”
