Suniel Shetty Pens Moving Note On Daughter Athiya Shetty's Wedding To Cricketer KL Rahul

Suniel Shetty recently discussed his daughter Athiya Shetty's wedding to cricketer KL Rahul. On January 23, the couple married at Suniel's farmhouse in Khandala. Suniel wrote a lengthy note in which he shared wedding details and thanked those who wished the family well.

Suniel wrote, “Last week, our baby Athiya married the love of her life, Rahul, in a small & intimate affair at our family home in Khandala. Surrounded by both sets of families & their closest friends.” He explained how they wanted to keep things 'traditional and simple,' and how they were thrilled when Athiya and Rahul decided to marry at their home. “In the end, the festivities turned out just as we’d hoped. There were less than 100 guests & at no point did things seem like a strain. Everyone dressed traditionally, laughed & danced. Pure joy. Hopefully, Ahan, Mana & I did a good job hosting everyone," he continued. Suniel went on to Rahul and added, “Despite having the adulation of the nation, Rahul remains humble. He’s well-mannered, intelligent, & extremely composed. Mana & Rahul are a riot together! Most importantly, like all athletes, he’s seen ups & downs - which is something that will help him long after he’s done with cricket. Athiya is blessed to have found such a loving family because his parents are really just the nicest people.” Athiya and KL Rahul dated for several years but never publicly addressed relationship rumors. Their wedding took place after much speculation, with only close friends and family members in attendance. “Being public figures, people assume that Athiya & Rahul enjoy the attention. Deep down, however, they’re simple, private people. They chose to remain private on the most important day of their lives. The media was supportive of our request for privacy, and they let us be, and for that we’re grateful,” an excerpt from Suniel's post read. Athiya was most recently seen in Nawazuddin Siddiqui's Motichoor Chaknachoor (2019).
