After staying mum for the longest time, Suniel Shetty has apparently confirmed that the wedding of his daughter-actor Athiya Shetty with cricketer KL Rahul will happen soon. At the launch event of Suniel’s crime thriller series Dharavi Bank, he was asked about the wedding and he responded with an affirmative answer.
At the event, as quoted by an online portal, Suniel was asked about Athiya and KL Rahul’s wedding, to which the actor said, “Jaldi hogi (it will happen soon)." Athiya and KL Rahul made their relationship official at the special screening of former’s brother Ahan Shetty’s debut film Tadap. The cricketer posed for the paparazzi at the premiere with Athiya and her family.
Athiya and KL Rahul have been together for a few years and the actress often accompanies the cricketer on tours and on vacations. Suniel also has been spotted at cricket matches cheering for KL Rahul and often posts videos playing cricket with him. On Athiya’s 30th birthday recently, KL Rahul shared an adorable post for her and dropped a series of pictures featuring her. He captioned them, “Happy birthday to my clown (he used clown face emoji) you make everything better."
Suniel had spoken about the wedding earlier this year as well as negating some media rumours about dates. He had told a portal, “I think jaise hi bachhe decide karenge (it will happen as soon as the kids decide). Rahul ke schedules hai. Abhi Asia Cup hai, World Cup hai, South African tour hai, Australia tour hai. Jab bachho ko break milega tab shaadi hogi. Ek din me shaadi nahi ho sakti na? (Rahul has busy schedules, Asia Cup, World Cup, South African tour, Australia tour. The wedding will happen only when the kids get a break. It can't happen in a day, no)?"
On the work front, Suniel will be seen in teh web series Dharavi Bank as a powerful, ruthless Robin Hood-esque antagonist, Thalaivan. The web series also stars Vivek Oberoi. It is directed by Samit Kakkad and released on MX Player on November 19.
