The recent couple of ODI and T20I series have witnessed the resurgence of star cricketer K.L. Rahul who has not only scored heavily with the fluent flow but also seems to have settled into the role of the wicket-keeper as well. Rahul's private life has also been in the news for his alleged relationship with Athiya Shetty the daughter of actor Suniel Shetty who recently starred as the villain in Rajinikanth's 'Darbar'.

In a recent press interaction, the press people posed the question of whether Athiya is dating K.L. Rahul and whether they had holidayed in Thailand for New Year celebrations. An obviously irritated Suniel Shetty has shot back according to IT "I am not having the relationship. You will have to ask Athiya. 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. See, I know both my kids will pick the right partners who will complement and support them."

K.L. Rahul and Athiya Shetty have shared many photographs of their bonding on their social media platforms but both have not opened up about their relationship to the media as yet.
