It has been a decade since the Shetty family lost their patriarch, Surendra Shetty, and the grief remains as poignant as ever. Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty took to Instagram today to share a touching tribute on the tenth anniversary of her father’s passing. Posting a cherished throwback photograph of the two together, she reflected on the passage of time, writing, “10 years without you, Dad. Miss you every single day… some days a little more. The only consolation is knowing you’re in a better place, watching over us and blessing us. Forever in our hearts.”
Her sister, actor Shamita Shetty, also joined in the remembrance by sharing a carousel of nostalgic pictures on her own social media handle. One of the images featured a sweet childhood photo of Shamita alongside her father. Expressing the lingering void left by his absence, Shamita wrote, “Time passes, life moves forward, and the world keeps turning, but some parts of your heart remain forever where you left them. Love you Daddy miss u.”
Surendra Shetty, a well-known entrepreneur and husband to Sunanda Shetty, passed away on October 11, 2016. He was 75 years old at the time and suffered a fatal cardiac arrest at the family’s home in Versova, Mumbai. The heartfelt tributes from both daughters serve as a reminder of the deep bond they shared with their father, who continues to be a central presence in their memories even ten years after his departure.
