Suniel Shetty and wife Mana Shetty have been married for 41 years. In a recent interaction, the Bollywood actor spilled the secret of their long-lasting marriage and how Mana has always been patient with his macho demeanour.
Speaking on the YouTube channel Bharti TV, Suniel lauded his wife, saying, “She is very patient. Even my kids are like that.” When asked how a simple, soft-spoken Mana adjusted with him, he said, “I was a gunda, literally. I used to have the button of my shirt open with long hair. This was much before I became an actor, but she was really patient.”
During the interaction, Suniel also shared that he dated Mana for nine years before they tied the knot. Though his mother wasn’t in favor of their marriage, she had to accept it as Suniel refused to marry anyone else but Mana. He said, “Mana and I had been seeing each other for nine years before marriage, and whenever my mom brought up the topic of marriage, I would tell her, ‘You know I am seeing someone. If I marry someone else, I will ruin the lives of two girls. So it is better that I don’t marry. I won’t go against you, but I also won’t marry.’”
Earlier, on The Ranveer Show, Suniel talked about his love story with Mana and said, “I fell in love with her the minute I saw her. But I used to be called the gunda because I used to have a bike, long hair, and that physique, and women around me all the time, friends, but you know how it is… and what the impression is when it goes out.”
Talking about the hardships, Suniel said, “I used to meet Mana at four o’clock in the morning on Christmas and New Year, but she didn’t once complain. The minute we met, everything about her seemed so caring and so loving. One year, two years, three years, four years, and nine years, and my parents kept saying no. Her parents loved me from day one, we got along. Her mom and I were a riot together.”
After a long courtship, Suniel and Mana tied the knot on December 25, 1991. They welcomed their first child, Athiya, in 1992 and their second child, Ahan, in 1996.
