Suniel Shetty: KL Rahul marriage, fanboy moments
23 Jul
Summary
- Suniel Shetty met KL Rahul as a fan before his daughter's relationship.
- He avoids discussing careers with son-in-law KL Rahul and son Ahan.
- Suniel Shetty regrets not investing in an IPL team earlier.
Actor Suniel Shetty recently spoke about his relationship with his son-in-law, Indian cricketer KL Rahul. Shetty disclosed that his initial encounter with Rahul was as a fan, long before Rahul and his daughter Athiya Shetty began their relationship. He described Rahul as well-spoken, humble, and a significant influence on young fans.
Shetty, who married Athiya in 2023 and are now parents to Evaarah Vipula, stated that he refrains from giving career advice to both Rahul and his son, actor Ahan Shetty. The family prioritizes discussions about character over careers.
Despite his passion for sports and a past aspiration to be a cricketer, Shetty admitted he did not venture into the Indian Premier League (IPL) when it launched in 2008. He believes he could have acquired a franchise if funding had been more accessible then, unlike the current ecosystem with venture capitalists and investors.
Shetty also lauded Shah Rukh Khan's foresight in investing in the IPL early on, acquiring the Kolkata Knight Riders. He characterized Khan as a visionary who has achieved success beautifully.
