Sunil Shetty, father of Athiya Shetty, has finally broken his silence on the rumoured relationship between his daughter and cricket star KL Rahul. Speculation over the India batting star and the Bollywood diva dating each other is rife as both of them have been spotted together a number of times.

And the relationship rumours have now become the talk of the town after KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty flew to Thailand to celebrate new year in the warm weather. They were also accompanied by their friends. Both of them kept their fans updated with their activities by posting photos from their vacation on social media platform.

However, none of them have spoken publicly about the relationship and are looking more interested in keeping things under the wrap. But unlike the two, Sunil Shetty has spoken on the same and has pretty much hinted that KL Rahul and Athiya are in a relationship.

“Times have changed. I know the choice of children. I like Ahaan’s girlfriend and I also love him whom Athiya is seeing. I have no problem with this, Mana also has no problem and she is happy,” Sunil Shetty told the media.

A strong start to the year:

KL Rahul will be looking to start 2020 on a great note after finishing 2019 in a fine manner. He impressed in the World Cup where he was promoted as an opener midway through the competition after an injury ruled out Shikhar Dhawan. The right-handed batsman totally justified the faith by scoring two fifties and a century.

KL Rahul then had a poor tour of West Indies and soon lost his place in the Test team. However, he kept impressing in white-ball cricket. The opening batsman helped Karnataka win the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and the Vijay Hazare Trophy before impressing against West Indies. In the three-match T20I series, he scored two fifties and followed it up with a fine century in the subsequent ODI series.
