While we’re used to seeing him as the solid, dependable action hero, this time he let us in on something much deeper; the pain of watching his father’s health deteriorate. When asked about the toughest phase he’s been through, Suniel opened up –
“I wouldn’t call it difficult — but yeah, it was a tough phase. When my father was ill. My career wasn’t going well either. But the career didn’t matter. Being with my father did.”

That hits home, doesn’t it? In the middle of a rough patch professionally, all that truly mattered to him was being by his father’s side. The rest could wait.

If you’ve ever watched someone you love slip away like that, you know exactly what he means. It’s not just hard, it stays with you. But what really hit home was what he shared next… a prayer he whispered every night as a child –
“From childhood, I used to pray daily. I had thought to myself, ‘God, take me before you take my parents.’ Every night that used to be my prayer.”
