Athiya Shetty, actor Suniel Shetty’s daughter who is also making her Bollywood debut with ‘Hero’, has always wanted to be an actress.

“I wanted to be an actor since I was little. It has always been my passion and my dream. My father got to know about it much later. I used to do everything hiding in my room, like dancing in front of the mirror and all of that,” Athiya shared as she, along with Sooraj and Salman Khan, promoted the movie in Delhi/NCR on Saturday ( September 5).
