Indian cricketer KL Rahul made his first red carpet appearance with girlfriend and Bollywood actress Athiya Shetty at her brother Ahan Shetty’s debut fim Tadap’s screening in Mumbai on Wednesday.

The event also marks KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty’s first public appearance as a couple, weeks after they made their relationship official. Meanwhile, Ahan Shetty arrived with his girlfriend Tania Shroff at the premiere, while his father Suniel Shetty, along with his family members, were also present. It was earlier reported that Athiya and KL Rahul met through a common friend in 2019 and instantly hit it off. Apparently, they have been going out since February that year. The couple had gone on several vacations with their friends since then.

Athiya Shetty is the daughter of Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty, who was last seen playing the antagonist in Rajinikanth's Darbar, directed by AR Murugadoss. The actress made her Bollywood debut in the 2015 film Hero, alongside newcomer Sooraj Pancholi.
