Suniel Shetty Says Purpose, Not Money, Keeps Him Working
Suniel Shetty Reveals What Still Drives Him At 65 After Achieving It All: 'Have Understood My Place' · NDTV

Suniel Shetty said money was very important when he was younger.

He wanted to support his family and give them a comfortable life.

Over time, he bought a home, educated his children and planned for the future.

Now that he is 65, he says earning more money would not greatly change his life.

He still enjoys acting, business ideas, meeting people and gardening.

He says work helps him understand his place in the world.

Feeling useful, helpful and needed gives him a reason to keep working.

Having enough money also lets him say no to work that does not feel right.

Quotes

Suniel Shetty

Indian actor discussing his early financial motivations

“For almost 40 years, work has been such a big part of how I've understood my place in the world. Someone wants me for a role. Someone calls for advice. Someone thinks I can contribute to an idea. Someone wants to build something with me.”

“Today I can leave a cheque on the table. I can say no to something that doesn’t feel right. I don’t have to turn every opportunity into a business, or every relationship into a transaction.”
