Suniel Shetty recalls his first encounter with son-in-law KL Rahul; says, “I was a big fan of him”

Suniel Shetty claimed that he first met his son-in-law KL Rahul in 2019 at an airport, where he discovered that they both hail from Mangalore.. Later, he learned that the cricketer was already acquainted with and on “talking terms” with his daughter, the actor Athiya Shetty. On January 23, 2023, the pair exchanged vows at Suniel’s family farm in Khandala.

The actor appeared on The Kapil Sharma Show to discuss Kumite 1 Warrior Hunt, the first MMA reality programme in India. He also discussed the recent nuptials of his daughter to Rahul. Unaware that he and Athiya were already acquainted, he talked of meeting the cricketer.

Mid-Day quoted Suniel Shetty saying, “I had the pleasure of meeting Rahul first at an airport. I was thrilled to learn that he was from Mangalore, my hometown. I was a big fan of him and was happy to see that he was doing well. When I came home and shared the news with Athiya and [wife] Mana, they didn’t say much; they just exchanged looks with each other. Later, Mana came to me and said that Athiya and Rahul [were on] talking terms.”

“I was surprised that Athiya had not mentioned it to me. [At the same time], I was happy as I always told Athiya to connect with south Indian boys. Rahul’s house in Mangalore [where his parents live] is only a few kilometres away from my birthplace [Mulki]. So, this was a happy coincidence,” the actor added.

On the work front, Shetty’s last project Dharavi Bank was released on MX Player last year. Directed by Samit Kakkad, the web series saw him play a gangster from Mumbai with Vivek Oberoi essaying the role of a cop. He will be next seen in Hera Pheri 3 reuniting with co-stars Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal. Earlier this week, a promo announcement shoot for the film was held in Mumbai. Paresh had shared that the film’s shoot will begin in three months and the trio of Raju, Shyam, and Babu Bhaiyya, will travel abroad for the third sequel.
