New Delhi, Apr 12 (UNI) Actress Athiya Shetty and her father-actor Suniel Shetty will be sharing screen space for the first time for a video creating awareness about the importance of educating girls.
The video will feature father-daughter duo and Athiya is too excited about it.
'She had been waiting for a chance to work alongside her father long before her debut. And now, she has finally got a chance to do so through this initiative,' sources close to the actress said.
Besides the topic of women literacy, the video also throws light on some issues existing in the society like female infanticide.
'Time and again, many Bollywood celebs have condemned such heinous crimes. Athiya, who too has expressed her concerns over the increasing crime against women, has also supported girl child along with Suniel Shetty promoting a similar ideology. Hence, shooting for this special video was an emotional experience for both, the father and the daughter,' sources said.
'As a family, we have always supported the idea of girl child welfare. For this project, neither of us needed convincing. I am so glad that we got the opportunity to work together for such a noble cause,'Athiya said.
On being asked about what she has learnt from her father, Athiya added, “My father is disciplined and prepared before he faces the camera. I try to emulate his approach towards work. He has taught me that nothing worth-having, comes easy.”
On the work front, Athiya is yet to make announcements about her next film.
Athiya was last seen in Arjun Kapoor starrer 'Mubarakan'.
