The Bollywood actor, producer, and businessman says he receives compliments galore for his lean physique and shining skin, and that he is totally humbled by the praise. Apart from all this, he is happy to be the fittest granddad in B-town. His granddaughter, who has just about started babbling “Aaja” (granddad in Tulu), is the apple of his eye, and Suniel can’t stop talking about her.
“She is exactly like Athiya, in fact a 2.0 version of her,” says the beaming grandpa. “I spend every free moment with her.” Running us through his day, Suniel says, “I am in the gym from 5.30 to 7 am. Post that, I take a quick shower and go to meet my 13-month-old granddaughter. This is my happiest, most fulfilling phase,” he says. When work beckons, he steps out, but once again he is dying to get home to be with their ghar ki Lakshmi.
