As the Indian batsman KL Rahul celebrates his 28th birthday today, he got so many wishes from his friends and family. But a very special birthday wish grabbed our eyeballs and it was none other than his rumored girlfriend Athiya Shetty. Yes, you read that right. Athiya Shetty posted an adorable selfie with Rahul on her social media handle. Not just this, she captioned the picture as, "Happy Birthday @rahulkl, my person!" Well, we all know what 'my person' means, but let's just wait for the two to be more specific.
As soon as Athiya shared the post, KL was quick to reply. He posted a couple of red hearts in the comment section. Even Athiya and Rahul's friends commented on the post. Hardik Pandya commented, 'Hay', which is like an Indian way of saying 'aww' to something. Sania Mirza has a similar response as Hardik to Athiya's post. She wrote, 'Awwe' with a red heart emoticon. Others who commented are Anand Ahuja, Mrunal Thakur, Badhshah, Diana Penty, and others.
A while ago, Athiya's father Sunil Shetty decided to dodge the question of his daughter dating KL Rahul. He got a bit irritated at the person asking it. He said, "I am not having the relationship. You will have to ask Athiya,” he said. “ You come and tell me if it is true, then we will talk about it. You don’t know, how can you ask me then.
