India cricketer KL Rahul married Athiya Shetty -- Bollywood actress and daughter of actor Sunil Shetty -- on Monday. While the couple hadn't made any official statement on the rumours of their marriage earlier, the two tying the knot on January 23 was an open secret. The wedding function reportedly took place at Sunil Shetty's Khandala Farmhouse. Soon after their marriage, the couple shared the pictures of its wedding and KL Rahul's teammate Virat Kohli and star tennis player Sania Mirza was quick to react to the post.

Suniel Shetty broke down in tears during Athiya-KL Rahul’s wedding pheras:

Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul’s wedding in Khandala was nothing short of a fairytale. Dad Suniel Shetty didn’t just host it at his plush bungalow, but personally looked into the prep. ETimes had exclusively reported how Suniel and Mana were overseeing the madap decoration and all other arrangements.

And just as the wedding rituals started, Suniel Shetty turned emotional. The actor turned teary as Athiya and KL Rahul started the pheras, reports Bollywoodlife. All through the wedding, Suniel was reportedly attending to everyone at the wedding and taking care of everyone. Soon after the rituals were over, Suniel Shetty and son Ahan stepped out to distribute sweets to the paps. Speaking about the wedding, Suniel Shetty shared, "It was a beautiful function and a close one. The wedding is officially done and I have become the father-in-law now.” Confirming the reception, he added, "I think we will definitely plan something post the IPL." When asked about playing the role of a father-in-law, Suniel Shetty stated, "I think the role is not new, I am still the father. For me my son is coming home, the 'in-law' chakkar should be out. I can play the role of a father well. Thank you so much everyone for the wishes."

Announcing their wedding to the world, Athiya and KL had shared, “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.”

Former Indian Skippers MS Dhoni And Virat Kohli Gifts Luxurious Vehicles To KL Rahul On His Wedding

Virat Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma gifted them a BMW car worth around 2.17 crore and MS Dhoni got the couple a Kawasaki Ninja bike worth around 80 lakhs.
 
Ahh okay! Athiya seems to be like a Muslim name to me! This must Hindutva jihad just like it is love jihad when a Muslim man marries a Hindu lady!!. Can my Hindu friends here comment on this union?

Her grandfather on her mother's side is Muslim, if that makes you feel better or worse :afridi1

Are such gifts common amongst the elite in India?

I feel its OTT and a bit of an insult for the poor.

Gifts should be private, IMO.

On a serious note, Upper Class and super rich do not care about religion. You can see it in Bollywood. Hindu-Muslim-Christian-Sikh marriages are extremely common.

Yes, it is. If I recall correctly, Ravindra Jadeja received an Audi as a gift from his in-laws on his wedding.
 
In a country like India where the haves and have nots divide is so huge - this looks OTT.

Lavish weddings among elite folk are the norm everywhere especially in subcontinent. Please don’t tell me you haven’t heard such stories of indulgence in rich Pakistan-Punjabi weddings.

Anyways yes I don’t see the point of disclosing your expensive gifts. It clearly is showing off.

However it works both ways, people on sm will be besotted with it or hate it, win-win either ways.

I see your point.

Guess there is always an interest in such things but ostentatious gifts like cars etc? seem odd

What is she herself? Mus-Hin!!:kohli Just so that I can tell the RSS that she is partly Hindu too so spare her life if possible.

Sure they don't. Problem is most Indian's are anything but upper class:viru
 
How can she be a quarter Muslim!!? You are making her sound like a burger!:broad

Her Mother's parents are Hindu-Muslim. Only one among her Grandparents is a Muslim. Look at the wedding. It is a Hindu wedding. I don't see any Maulana there.

You are missing the point. Believing in Islam is a personal choice where as you are telling me what her family believe. That is the core difference between Islam and Hinduism that Islam is truly an intellectual leadership. So it is 50% love jihad then!:yk2

Athiya Shetty, KL Rahul To Welcome First Child In 2025, Actress Says 'Beautiful Blessing Is Coming'​


Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul, who celebrated their marriage in January 2023, have thrilled fans with the joyous news of expecting their first child together. The couple made the announcement on Friday, surprising followers with the delightful update about their growing family.

Through a heartfelt joint Instagram post, Athiya and KL Rahul shared their happiness with fans and admirers. The post featured a beautifully simple design, with a protective evil eye symbol, golden stars, and the message, “Our beautiful blessing is coming soon. 2025," accompanied by tiny footprints symbolizing the upcoming arrival. Signed with “Athiya & Rahul," the post radiated warmth and excitement, drawing an outpouring of love and congratulations from fans and well-wishers alike.

Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul’s romance blossomed away from the spotlight, with their relationship staying under wraps for a long time. The two reportedly met in February 2019 through a mutual friend, and their connection grew quickly. They kept things private, but fans began to speculate when designer Vikram Phadnis playfully teased Athiya about her relationship on social media. Their first public hint of romance came in December 2019, with a cosy Instagram post during their New Year’s celebration in Thailand, reports Filmfare.

Since then, they have often expressed their affection online, especially on birthdays. In 2021, Rahul made their relationship official with a heartfelt Instagram post and a sweet photo of the two. Even with their visible closeness on social media, they kept their relationship details private, with Suniel Shetty respecting his daughter’s boundaries and refraining from discussing their future plans.

Athiya’s bond with Rahul became more evident as she accompanied him on several of the Indian cricket team’s tours abroad. Their relationship extended into their professional lives, with the couple doing endorsements together. Rahul became close to Athiya’s family, especially when he attended the screening of her brother Ahan Shetty’s film Tadap.

Over the years, their relationship deepened, and they continued to attend events together, including a memorable outing in Munich with Akansha Ranjan Kapoor. Today, as a happily married couple, Athiya and Rahul remain each other’s biggest support system.
