Suniel Shetty’s Daddy Verappa Shetty Passes away aged 93!

We just got to know that Daddy Verappa breathed last on Wednesday at 1.30 A.M. at the Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai. He was 93 years old and was admitted to the hospital due to his ill health. The funeral will reportedly be held on Thursday 4th March 2017.

It seems that the sad demise of Verappa Shetty was due to the massive paralytic stroke he had in 2013 and this made the veteran actor Suniel Shetty set-up an entire ICU at his South Mumbai residence for his father’s recovery. It was almost at the same time when Suniel’s daughter Aathiya was preparing for her big Bollywood debut. But, Suniel gave more importance to his daddy Veerapa.

In the past, during interviews, Suniel Shetty had said that his father was his real hero and nothing is more important to him than his health. This is the reason Suniel Shetty stopped appearing onscreen as he made a sacrifice and didn’t sign any films for years so that he can give his all time to his dearest daddy!

“I haven’t had a proper night’s sleep for three months now. It’s a very mixed kind of feeling for me. On one hand, my daughter Aathiya is getting ready for her film career. On the other hand, my father is very unwell. So the excitement of Aathiya’s debut is sadly diminished. At the moment we’re all focusing on looking after my father,” Suniel had said back in 2014.

We are sorry for the major loss Suniel Shetty faced. We send our sincere condolences to the Shetty family at this time of grief.
