India Cricketer KL Rahul tied the knot with Athiya Shetty, daughter of Bollywood actor Sunil Shetty, on Monday. There were no official comments on the couple getting wedded earlier, but the reports of the two getting married on January 23 were there for everyone to see. According to reports, the wedding happened at Sunil Shetty’s farmhouse in Khandala.
After the two wedded, the couple took to social media to put out photos of their wedding. Former India skipper Virat Kohli and Indian Tennis icon Sania Mirza reacted very quickly to the post. The wedding ceremony was attended by only a few of the close friends of the Shetty family. Rahul and Athiya had been in a relationship for a long time.

The wedding was “beautiful,” said Suniel Shetty, who was seen in a festive traditional outfit. He quipped that the “father-in-law chakkar” should be dispensed with so that just the ‘father’ bit remains. “In-law ka chakkar agar hat jaye aur agar father hi rahu toh bhaut khoobsurat hai, kyunki woh part main bhaut ache se nibhaata hoon (It would be great to dispense with ‘in-law’ and have ‘father’ remain because that’s a responsibility I discharge well),” he stated.
“In your light, I learn how to love. Today, with our most loved ones, we got married in the home that’s given us immense joy and serenity. With a heart full of gratitude and love, we seek your blessings on this journey of togetherness,” Athiya said when the first pictures from her wedding came out.
Suryakumar Yadav also took to Instagram to put out a story saying “Congratulations to the loveliest, KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty. Wish you the very best for the most important partnership of your life.”
Rahul was last seen in the ODI series against Sri Lanka. He made 39 off 29 balls in the first ODI in Guwahati, which contained four fours and one six to help India score 373-7 batting first. In the second ODI against the Islanders in Kolkata, he played a calculated innings off an unbeaten 64 off 103 balls, with six fours, to help India win a low-scoring game and take a 2-0 ODI series lead.
