My father's success or failure never affected me: Athiya

Actress Athiya Shetty, who is making her Bollywood debut with "Hero", says the fate of her father Suniel Shetty's films at the box-office never affected her. In "Hero", Athiya stars opposite actor Aditya Pancholi's son Sooraj, also making his debut. The film is co-produced by superstar Salman Khan. "There was no discussion about his work at home. As a child we were never affected by his success or failure everything was always the same. There was no Friday fear at home," the actress told . Athiya loved her father in comedies but stayed away from watching his action movies.'I did not watch many of my father's films because he used to do action movies. So when anyone punched my dad I used to get scared. I have loved him in comedies. I loved him in 'Hera Pheri'." Suniel, 54, shared screen space with a number of actresses, but his dauhgter loved his pairing with Karisma Kapoor and Raveena Tandon the most.
