If reports are to be believed, wedding bells might ring for actor Athiya Shetty and cricketer K L Rahul in January next year. And Athiya’s father, actor Suniel Shetty is in no mood to confirm, and asserts that the family is trying hard to figure out a date.

As per a report by Pinkvilla, preps are going on in full swing at Suniel’s Khandala bungalow for his daughter’s wedding. It has been a few days since Rahul returned to Mumbai after playing in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and the pace of things seems to have sped up on this front.

“Rahul and Athiya will tie the knot in January. They visited the Khandala house recently. While the exact dates are under the wraps, the couple will have a traditional wedding,” a source said, adding, “The soon-to-be bride and groom have finalised their outfits for the big day.”

When we spoke to Suniel last week about the wedding, before this report came in, he told us, “I am looking at the possible dates. With both their schedules, we are figuring out things. Hopefully soon, we will know when and where will it (wedding) happen.”

The 61-year-old adds that they are a close-knit family and do not have long conversations. But he assured us, “I guess at the right time, everyone will know [details about the wedding].”

Opening up about Athiya’s and his son actor Ahan Shetty’s relationships, Suniel said, “My kids’ respective partners are very simple and humble kids. I always tell my wife that we are blessed to have them in our lives.”

Athiya and Rahul have been dating for quite some time now, and while the duo has never discussed their love life in public, they have made their relationship official on social media platforms on several occasions by dropping pictures together.
