In the 90s this popular actors name was included in the list of Bollywoods legendary actors. He worked in many great films in his career. In that era he had a line of films but after 2012 his his stardom started declining rapidly there was even a time when people forgot his presence in the film industry. Let us tell you which actor are we talking about. The actor in question is none other than Sunil Shetty who made his Bollywood debut with the 1992 film Balwan he started getting recognition in Bollywood from his debut film itself. In the 90s films in his name started becoming hits at the box office. The audience loved his acting and eagerly awaited Sunil Shettys films. He used to work in 7-8 and sometimes even 10 films every year Shetty always had a line of films lined up in his portfolio. But after 2012 he started staying away from Bollywood and featured in only 1 or 2 films in a year. He did not do this intentionally rather he had to do so out of compulsion. Last year Sunil Shetty featured in the famous comedian Bharti Singh and her husband Harsh Limbachiyaa in their podcast where he said that his father Veerappa Shettys health started deteriorating and he had distanced himself from films to take good care of his father. However his father passed away in the year 2017. After his fathers death Sunil wanted to return to the screen but he was not getting good films. Let us tell you if Sunil Shetty had not stayed away from the screen for 5 years then perhaps he would have been the king of the box office today because Sunil himself said in the podcast that he signed 40 films even before his debut. Sunil Shetty said that when he entered the industry he used to have a line of films and he used to shoot 3 films in a day. Not only this he said that he did not even have time to change his jeans so he used to reach the sets of different films by just changing his shirt. Apart from this he talked about his fathers struggle. He said At the age of 9 my father ran away from home and came to Mumbai. He had no father and only his mother and 3 sisters were there my father had to do something for all of them so he ran away from home and came to Mumbai. The owner of a South Indian restaurant in Mumbai gave him the job of cleaning tables. I still remember my father used to tell me that he was so small that to clean a table he had to walk around it four times.
