Suniel Shetty Calls KL Rahul a True Blessing
Suniel Shetty has always been vocal about his admiration for his son-in-law, KL Rahul, the celebrated Indian cricketer. In a recent interview, the actor lauded Rahul’s character and contributions to the sport, expressing pride in the cricketer’s journey and values. According to Shetty, Rahul is not just a sportsman but a source of inspiration both on and off the field.
Speaking with Instant Bollywood, Shetty highlighted three key attributes that he deeply respects in Rahul: his laser-sharp focus, his respectful demeanor, and his confident yet grounded personality. Recalling Rahul’s childhood dream of representing India, Shetty admired how committed he has remained to that vision. He quoted Rahul saying, “Whether you bat me at number 1 or 5, I’ll give my all for the country,” emphasizing his selfless approach to the game.
The Bollywood star also reflected on the emotional connection Rahul has built with the family. He fondly recalled his mother’s wisdom that a daughter should marry someone who loves her more than her parents do, and in Athiya’s case, Rahul has lived up to that hope. Shetty regularly reminds his daughter that she’s lucky to have Rahul as her life partner, and he considers himself equally fortunate to call Rahul his son. His son Ahaan, too, shares a close bond with Rahul, whom Shetty believes has enriched their lives in countless ways. Calling him a “blessing,” Shetty stated that such relationships are gifts from above.
Athiya and KL Rahul went public with their relationship in 2021 and tied the knot on January 23, 2023, in an intimate ceremony. Earlier this year, they welcomed their daughter, Evaarah, adding another joyful chapter to their lives.
Meanwhile, Suniel Shetty continues to shine in his acting career, recently starring in the action-packed series “Hunter 2.” The show, directed by Prince Dhiman and Alok Batra, also features Jackie Shroff, Anusha Dandekar, and Barkha Bisht. In it, Shetty plays Inspector Vikram, who is pulled into a chilling mystery when he discovers his supposedly deceased daughter may be alive—and in danger—thanks to the mysterious figure known as the ‘Salesman.’
