Suniel shared an unseen pic from Rahul and Athiya’s wedding. One can see him doing ’tilak’ on his son-in-law’s forehead on the wedding day. He wrote, “Blessed to have you in our lives …Happy birthday baba 🖤 @klrahul @athiyashetty”
KL commented on this picture with a heart and evil eye emoji. He also re-shared the picture on his story. Athiya and Rahul had tied the knot in January this year after dating each other for a while. In an exclusive chat with Etimes, Suniel had spoken about having KL as his son-in-law and also joked that it was a marriage manifested by him. He had said, “I am a proud father. Athiya is blessed. Ahaan is blessed; he gets to learn from KL who is so calm and respect.
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.”
He had also confessed that he gets anxious every time KL is playing. “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.”
At the moment, KL is busy with the ongoing IPL. He plays for the Lucknow Super Giants. After the wedding, Suniel had told the media that Athiya and Rahul may have a reception in Mumbai but only after the IPL.
