The buzz about Athiya Shetty dating Indian cricketer K L Rahul has been doing the rounds for a while now. Currently, Athiya and Rahul are in London. According to reports Rahul had listed Athiya as his partner before leaving for the World Test Championship Final in England last month. As per rules, players were supposed to notify if they would be travelling with their wives or partners for the series.

When Bombay Times reached out to Athiya’s father, Suniel Shetty, he said, “Yes, she is in England, but she is with Ahan. The brother-sister duo has gone there for a holiday. Rest you may check with them.” 

Interestingly, a few days ago, Suniel had shared a video on social media where Ahan and Rahul could be seen together. “My Love My Strength (sic),” he wrote with it. Talking about it, he said, “Ahan and Rahul are friends. My message was dedicated to both of them. Rahul is one of my favourite cricketers.”

While Suniel avoids talking about the relationship rumours, Athiya and Rahul have shared pictures on social media that have them holidaying together in the past. The two are also brand ambassadors for an eyewear brand. Ask Suniel about their equation, and he is quick to add, “I think it is best you speak to them. As far as the ad goes… I mean it is an international brand and they chose to take the two of them as the ambassadors. I think they look brilliant together. They are a good-looking couple, na? So, it totally works from a brand perspective. And I must say, they look good together, well, in the ad (laughs!).”
