Even as the buzz around KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty’s upcoming wedding gathers momentum, her father Suniel Shetty denies the reports. When we reached out to papa Shetty, he casually responded, “Let me know when you get the confirmed dates so I can attend (the wedding).”

Stories about the couple’s wedding have been doing the rounds for a while now, and according to insiders, there’s a big fat south Indian wedding planned. The celebrations, which will include haldi, mehendi and sangeet ceremonies, are likely to take place from January 21 to 23 at the Shetty residence in Khandala. 

Sources say that prep for the wedding is underway and there’s much excitement in both households as the families gear up for the celebrations. Reportedly, the cricketer has taken personal leave in January 2023, and his application for the same was approved by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
