Even before entering the entertainment industry, Suniel was a married man. He had tied the knot with Mana Kadri in 1991, despite many people warning him that it would be detrimental to his image as a new Bollywood hero. Moreover, due to their different religious backgrounds, both of their families were opposed to their marriage, especially Suniel’s parents. However, they overcame all the objections and have been together ever since. Here’s everything to know about Mana Kadri, Suniel’s first and forever love.
Mana Kadri belongs to an interfaith and intercultural family
Mana and Suniel Shetty’s intercultural marriage has garnered a lot of headlines, with the actor often retelling how his parents were against the marriage. However, it’s a lesser-known fact that Mana herself belongs to a multi-faith family. Her father is Iftikhar M. Kadri, a Gujarati Muslim and an architect. Meanwhile, her mother is Vipula Kadri, a social activist and a Punjabi Hindu. She has two siblings, Isha and Rahul Kadri, who are social activists and architects, respectively.
