to a baby girl in March. She became a mother naturally.

In his eulogy, Sunil said, "In today's world, almost everyone wants a cesarean delivery for some comfort. Athiya didn't want that. She chose the natural method of delivery. The nurses and pediatricians at the hospital told me about the entire procedure; which as a father, gave me pain. But I am happy to think that she is ready. Athiya is very strong. I have not seen her break down or get tired or devastated even once."

But amid the actor's statement,

a controversy arose around the comment that 'many people choose cesarean section for comfort'. And a storm of sarcasm erupted on social media. However, the actor conceded amidst the controversy.

So Sunil Shetty apologized to all the women and said,

'The statement I made is 200 words or more. But there is a debate about a part of my statement. Some people are misinterpreting two lines of my statement. When someone has a C-section (Caesarean), he does not know what is going to happen. Not only love, but respect your wife for life. And that is probably why women are given the place of goddesses. Still, I apologize to those who have been hurt.' Netizens and fans praised Sunil Shetty's comment of apologizing in the face of controversy.
