There are many Bollywood actors who rose from poverty and became big stars in the industry. One among them who faced a tough time in his life but then turned out to be a superstar is Suniel Shetty. The actor went through major highs and lows in his life during his initial days. However today he is one of Bollywoods prominent figures. Not just that he also owns a net worth of Rs 125 crore. Suniel made his debut in films in 1992 at the age of 31 with Balwaan opposite Divya Bharti. Over the years Suniel became a household name and acted in over 100 films even becoming one of the highest-paid actors in the 90s. While today Shetty is a rich man and enjoys the luxuries of life there was a time when he faced major ups and downs. In an interview Suniel revealed that in order to run the bread and butter of the family his father used to work as a waiter. He said My father Veerappa Shetty used to work as a waiter there. However after working hard Suniel built a name for himself and even gifted his father the same hotel where he once used to work. The actor said After a long struggle in 1943 he bought an entire building which is next to the Four Seasons Hotel in Worli. He further added My father had struggled a lot in his life and then made his own identity so he has been a real hero for me. He did not feel ashamed in doing any work. He taught me the same thing. Coming to the present Suniel owns various luxurious properties in Maharashtra — a farmhouse in Khandala and also a luxurious home in Mumbai. Suniel Shetty’s Mumbai residence is located in the upscale Prithvi Apartments on Altamount Road — one of the city’s most exclusive areas and also home to India’s richest man Mukesh Ambani.
