After dating for three years, they married in a beautiful, private ceremony at Athiya’s father, Suniel Shetty’s farmhouse in Khandala.
Athiya’s father, Suniel Shetty, has always been supportive of KL Rahul. Earlier this year, he even hinted he was ready to become a grandfather, and now that wish is coming true. Suniel has praised Rahul’s kindness, often saying how lucky Athiya is to have him.
With their baby on the way, Athiya and Rahul’s journey is set to become even more exciting, and fans are sending them all their love as they step into parenthood.
