KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty, who have been dating for a while, are reportedly planning to marry this year. Last year, the couple made their relationship public when the Indian cricketer wished his lady love on her birthday with a cute social media post featuring Athiya and himself. Rahul even went to the premiere of Athiya’s brother, Ahan Shetty’s debut film Tadap, where the entire Shetty family posed for photos.
According to a recent IndiaToday.in report, Athiya and KL Rahul are planning to marry within the next three months. According to a source close to the family, the star couple’s families recently met, and grand preparations for their nuptials are underway. The two stars’ families met at KL Rahul and Athiya’s home, where they will live together after their marriage. “Rahul’s parents were recently in Mumbai to meet Athiya’s family. The couple, along with their families, visited the new house where they will be moving in soon, to see the progress. The wedding is expected to take place in the next three months in Mumbai. It will be a grand celebration for both the families and every detail of the wedding is been overseen by the bride herself,” a source told the news portal.
Previously, when media reports suggested that Athiya and KL Rahul would marry in December, the actress’s father, Suniel Shetty, told ETimes, “She is my daughter, and she will marry someday. I would like for my son to marry as soon as possible. It’s entirely up to them. KL Rahul is one of my favourite players. And, because times have changed, it is up to them to decide what they want to do. Beti and Beta are not responsible (My daughter and son are both responsible people). I want them to make the decision. My blessings are always available to them.”
For the uninitiated, KL Rahul suffered a groin injury during a training session on June 8 and was ruled out of the T20I series against South Africa. However, Rahul confirmed on June 29 via social media that his ‘surgery was successful’ after a ‘tough couple of weeks.’ He has been doing well since his surgery. Athiya Shetty, on the other hand, was last seen in Motichoor Chaknachoor.
