Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty recently celebrated his 64th birthday in the most heartwarming way — with his little granddaughter, Evaarah. The proud grandfather, who is lovingly called Ajja (meaning grandfather in Marathi), received a customised farm-themed cake that instantly stole everyone’s attention.
A Birthday Filled With Love
On August 11, 2025, Suniel Shetty’s birthday celebration was made extra special by his family. This year was different for him because it was his first birthday after becoming a grandfather. The cake, decorated with cows, hens, and chickens, had “Happy Birthday Ajja” written on it — a title that means more to him than any of his film awards.
Sharing a photo of the cake on Instagram, Suniel expressed that it was “the most precious gift from the most precious person.” Fans flooded the post with wishes, calling him the “coolest granddad in Bollywood.”
The Arrival of Baby Evaarah
Suniel Shetty’s daughter, Athiya Shetty, and her husband, cricketer KL Rahul, welcomed their baby girl earlier this year. Since then, the Shetty family’s world seems to revolve around the little one. Suniel’s son, Ahan Shetty, has also been enjoying his role as a proud mamu (maternal uncle).
Mamu Ahan’s Adorable Moment
Back in June 2025, Ahan Shetty shared two unseen pictures with baby Evaarah. In one of the shots, he was seen holding her in his arms and feeding her milk. The love and care were evident as he even placed a burp cloth on his shoulder. He playfully captioned the post, “On Duty,” showing that he takes his uncle duties seriously.
Staying Fit For His Granddaughter
Suniel Shetty is known for his fitness even at 64, and he credits his healthy lifestyle to his desire to keep up with his granddaughter’s energy. In an earlier interview, he mentioned that being physically active is important so he can play with Evaarah without feeling tired.
He also spoke about avoiding harmful substances like anabolic steroids and instead focusing on natural fitness. His daily workouts, especially core training, help him maintain posture, strength, and stamina. “I want to run around with her without stopping every two minutes,” he said.
A Family Man at Heart
Despite his busy career, Suniel Shetty always prioritises his family. He says that after his workouts, the happiest part of his day is returning home to spend time with his wife Mana and now his granddaughter. For him, little Evaarah is the biggest blessing in his life right now.
Conclusion
Suniel Shetty’s 64th birthday celebration was not about grand parties or luxury gifts — it was about love, family, and the joy of becoming a grandfather. The customised ‘Ajja’ cake symbolised his most cherished role yet. With his dedication to fitness, he’s not only inspiring his fans but also ensuring that he can be an active and fun granddad to baby Evaarah for years to come.
