Check out Suniel Shetty's birthday post for KL Rahul here:
On January 23, KL Rahul and Athiya were married at the Khandala farmhouse of Suniel Shetty. It was an intimate affair with close friends and family members being in attendance.
Suniel claimed to have visualised their marriage ever since he learned that the two were dating in a conversation with ETimes following the wedding. He said, "I was aware that Athiya and KL were seeing each other. KL comes from a place which is 3 km from my hometown. Mangalorean boy. It's a match made in heaven and perhaps manifested by Suniel Shetty."
Suniel, his wife Mana Shetty, and their son Ahan Shetty have occasionally been sighted in stadiums while Rahul is in the team. He had admitted to the portal that when Rahul is on the pitch, he gets nervous. He said, "I am anxious whenever he is playing. It's my child playing. I always wish well for him. Looking at his eyes, I have started empathising and appreciating every cricketer. When your child goes through a low, it shakes you up; he is the master of his profession but you are seeing it like a father. And then when he rises like a Phoenix."
Recently, Hunter Tootega Nahi Todega marked Suniel's OTT debut. In the show, he portrays a cop alongside Esha Deol, Barkha Bisht, Karanvir Sharma, and Rahul Dev.
