Mumbai: Actor Athiya Shetty has said that as a rule, no one in her family advises the younger generation on career matters.
Athiya Shetty, who is the daughter of actor Suniel Shetty, made her debut in the Hindi movie industry with ‘Hero’ in 2015. Her brother Ahan Shetty is also set to enter movies with the Hindi remake of Telugu hit ‘RX100’.
“Our family rule is that we don’t give each other advice. We pick up on our learnings as our journey unfolds,” Athiya Shetty said. “I think my parents have done that with me and now we’re doing that with my brother,” Athiya added on the sidelines of the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week Winter/Festive 2019.
The actor also said she would love to do a film with her father. “It would be a lot of fun,” Athiya asserted.
Athiya, who is awaiting the release of her next film ‘Motichoor Chaknachoor’, informed that the film is expected to hit the screens ‘in the next couple of months’. The movie also stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
The 26-year-old Athiya said that she wants to make foray into the digital arena as it is a medium that is ‘taking over the world’ when it comes to entertainment.
“It’s just a platform that allows you to watch so many different films from so many different countries and cultures. It kind of makes the world smaller and united,” Athiya added.
The actor turned muse Thursday for designer duo Abraham and Thakore. The show was presented by EcoVero.
The couturiers celebrated the ‘kurta’, iconic Indian garment using the sustainable and environmentally responsible viscose fibre, ‘Lenzing EcoVero’.
Talking about the range, Athiya said it is important to be aware of ‘our environment’ and the ways people can contribute to protect it. “We must try to contribute to spreading awareness. It’s important for everybody to do their bit for the environment,” Athiya Shetty pointed out.
