Suniel Shetty in tears as he recalls son Ahan`s career struggle after Tadap fail

Actor Ahan Shetty is gearing up for the release of his film Border 2. He made his acting debut in 2021 with Tadap. However, it took him four years to come up with his next film after some of the projects he had signed failed to go through. His debut film, in which he starred alongside Tara Sutaria, failed to make a mark at the box office, dealing a blow to his career.

Suniel Shetty on Border 2

On Monday, at the song launch of Border 2, actor Suniel Shetty was in tears as he recalled the tough phase his son went through after Tadap. The senior actor revealed that Ahan faced intense turmoil after his first release did not succeed.

On Monday, Suniel Shetty joined his son Ahan and the team of Border 2 to launch the song Jaate Hue Lamhon in Mumbai. Speaking about his son’s journey in the industry, Suniel was visibly emotional. He said, “It is his second film aur itni badi film milna… Bahut hi responsible film hai. When Ahan was doing the film, maine tabhi unse kaha tha ke ‘Ahan, it is not just uniform. Remember this’ (Getting such a big film is huge. It is a responsible film. When Ahan was shooting for the film, I told him ‘Ahan, it is not just uniform. Remember this’."

Suniel gets emotional

Reflecting on Ahan’s struggle despite being a star kid, Shetty said, “After his first film, there was a little break in (his life and career). You know, there’s always turmoil in our lives. Sab bolte hain ke Suniel Shetty ka beta hai kaam toh bahut hi milta hai (Everyone thinks that he is Suniel Shetty’s son and he would have got a lot of work). But somewhere or the other, there’s a lot that Ahan went through in life. But I am happy that he got Border 2 as his second film. Usse badiya film nahi mil sakti (He couldn’t have gotten a better film than that). And I just pray that he has done justice and the film works for all of us.” 

Border 2 will be released in theatres on January 23, 2026.
