Suniel Shetty says he went against his parents to marry Mana: ‘Mere maa baap…’
Suntiel Setty and Mana did not expect their career to get up. They tied the knot before hitting the first film on the screens.
The marriage of Mana Shetty in the early 90s was not only about love – he was about to break the obstacles. At a time when most of the new actors were told to remain single to protect their images, Suntiel chose to follow his heart. Despite the opposition on both sides of the family, when he married Mana, it was just a film in Bollywood.
Family resistance and cultural differences
In a recent speech with Pinkvilla, Suntiel opened up about early struggles. His family strongly opposed the match. “Only Maa Baap Clear Thay Ki Shaadi Hone Waali Nahi Hai, Aap Shaadi Kar Nahi Sakte (my family was very clear, they said that this marriage could not take place, you cannot marry).” Mana came from a different cultural and religious past, but never allowed it to affect its feelings. “He always said to me, ‘I will always be there for you as long as you want me to be a part of your life’. How can I forget that?”
They got married before the movie release
Sun Miece and Mana did not expect their career to get up. They tied the knot before hitting the first film on the screens. “When I took my first film, then we decided to get married. We got married before my first version. The world said that if I got married to me, especially among women, I would lose my admirer. Many people encouraged me. But I decided.”
A word based on trust and respect
He explained why he felt so strong in staying loyal to the choice of Sun Piel. “When someone you love allows you to step into one of the most insecure professions from a wife’s point of view, it is your responsibility to honor it.” He shared how Mana’s power and self -esteem inspired him. “Yes, if my behavior was wrong, or if I hadn’t been determined, then it would be absolutely.
A bond that still looks strong
For Sunitel, it wasn’t just about choosing love – it was about to choose the person standing next to him unconditionally. Mana’s support for the power of relations, calls him his anchor from the very beginning: “He’s been with me since the first day.”
