Suniel Shetty has found himself at the center of a social media storm after sharing an anecdote about his 15-month-old granddaughter, Evaarah.

During a recent interview, the actor revealed that the toddler greets a photograph of Prime Minister Narendra Modi every morning and even offers make-believe laddoos to the picture.

Suniel added that nobody in the family had taught her to do so and described the gesture as something special. While some social media users found the story heartwarming, many others reacted critically.

A section of netizens questioned the actor’s comments, arguing that dragging a 15-month-old child into political discussions was unnecessary.

The topic quickly began trending online, with posts, memes, and reactions flooding social media platforms. Despite the controversy, the actor has not responded to the backlash so far.
