Jab KL Rahul met Athiya Shetty

Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul met through a mutual friend in February 2019, according to reports. The two hit if off reportedly in no time and continued to see each other, eventually falling in love.

Athiya and KL Rahul always kept their relationship under wraps and it is also believed that they rang in 2020 together in Thailand. 

Athiya was then also spotted in many of the cricket matches played by KL Rahul. She reportedly accompanied him in all his matches.

Right before KL Rahul made his relationship with Athiya Shetty Instagram official in November 2021, the couple came together for their first endorsement. KL Rahul also introduced her as his co-partner for a brand on his Instagram handle.  

In 2022, KL Rahul attended the screening of Ahan Shetty's 'Tadap', where he entered the venue with Athiya Shetty. The couple were reportedly holding hands. Rahul's attendance at the screening established the fact that the cricketer is close to the Shetty family. 

Ever since KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty were spotted together on many occasions.
