Ahan Shetty's Bollywood Journey: From Waiter Grandfather to Action Hero Father

  • Ahan Shetty, son of action hero Sunil Shetty, debuted in Bollywood with the 2021 film "Tadap."
  • "Tadap," a Hindi remake of the Telugu hit "RX 100," also starred Tara Sutaria and was directed by Milan Luthria.
  • Despite mixed reviews and a box office failure (earning ₹26-28 crore worldwide), Ahan's performance, energy, and screen presence were noted as strong for a debut.
  • Ahan's grandfather, Veerappa Shetty, started as a waiter in an Udupi restaurant in Mumbai after moving from Mangalore at age nine.
  • Sunil Shetty, Ahan's father, debuted in 1992 with "Balwaan," establishing himself as an action hero and later diversifying into comedy and emotional roles.

Why It Matters: Ahan Shetty, from a humble family background, is carving his path in Bollywood following his father's legacy.
