- Mana Shetty is one of the richest celebrity wives in India and is considered the ‘Mrs Ambani of Bollywood’.
- In an interview, when asked about her feelings as a celebrity wife, she said,
I never thought of myself as a star wife. It was not a conscious decision but I just feel that while it is great to be Mrs. Suniel Shetty, I am still myself. I am still the Mana person that people knew me as a few years ago. People say that I am still so approachable and down to earth but why has it changed? Suniel is still so humble. It is our upbringing and character. We are not weighed down by the trappings of success. I do attend some film parties but I do not belong to any camp. In the film industry, Suniel is known as anna (brother) and that says a lot. While star wives hate other star wives, they always support me in whatever I do. I have a wonderful relationship with everyone I know.”
