Suniel Shetty praised his son-in-law KL Rahul. He told ETimes, “I am a proud father. Athiya is blessed. Ahan is blessed; he gets to learn from KL who is so calm and respectful.” He also added, “I was aware that Athiya and KL were seeing each other. KL comes from a place, which is 3 km from my hometown. Mangalorean boy. It's a match made in heaven and perhaps manifested by Suniel Shetty.”

Suniel revealed he considers KL Rahul as his son and gets anxious when he is playing on field. Suniel said, “I am anxious whenever he is playing. It's my child playing. I always wish well for him. Looking at his eyes, I have started empathising and appreciating every cricketer. When your child goes through a low, it shakes you up; he is the master of his profession, but you are seeing it like a father. And then when he rises like a Phoenix.”

He further added, “I am never bothered about the social media. But when your child goes through a high and a low, a father is always concerned. This happens until you get grandchildren, and then they become your centre of concern. He is as very honest boy. He is the backbone of the team, there's a lot of thehrav (steadiness) in him. I wanted to be a cricketer. I know my cricket and can make out what a kid is made of. And he has a very calming influence on Athiya too. God bless them.”

Athiya and KL Rahul tied knot at her father Suniel Shetty's Khandala farmhouse on January 23, 2023. The couple looked elegant during their wedding ceremony.

On the work front, Shetty made his OTT debut last year with Dharavi Bank for MX Player. Directed by Samit Kakkad, the web series saw him play a gangster from Mumbai with Vivek Oberoi essaying the role of a cop. His latest web series Hunter – Tootega Nahin Todega released recently on Amazon miniTV.

Shetty will be next seen in Hera Pheri 4, reuniting with co-stars Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal. Rawal had earlier shared that the film's shoot will begin in three months and the trio of Raju, Shyam, and Babu Bhaiyya, will travel abroad for the third film.
