There’s been quite a buzz lately after Suniel Shetty’s recent comment, sparking rumors about his daughter Athiya Shetty and cricketer KL Rahul expecting their first child. Fans are definitely excited, although nothing official has been announced. Suniel Shetty, the veteran actor, made a statement during his appearance on the popular reality show Dance Deewane.
Currently serving as a judge on Dance Deewane, Suniel was part of the Grandparents Special episode. Host Bharti Singh humorously hinted at how Suniel would be as a grandfather, suggesting no kid could handle such a cool grandparent. Suniel’s response? “Yes, next season when I come I will be walking on the stage like a Nana.” That got everyone’s attention.
Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul tied the knot on January 23, 2023, in a beautiful South Indian wedding ceremony held at Suniel Shetty’s sprawling Khandala mansion.

In an exclusive chat, Suniel Shetty once talked about his workout sessions and jamming with his son-in-law. “I train with Ahan (Shetty, son) and Rahul to understand their training methods better. It’s quite different. Athletes train on a whole different level. While we actors focus on sculpting our bodies, they aim for peak performance. The dynamics of fielding and batting have evolved immensely. Learning from him has been enlightening,” he shared.
Meanwhile, Suniel Shetty is set to return to the iconic Hera Pheri franchise alongside Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal. The much-anticipated film had grabbed headlines amid rumors of Kartik Aaryan replacing Akshay Kumar. Production is set to begin soon.
On the professional front, Athiya made her Bollywood debut in 2015 with Hero alongside Sooraj Pancholi. She was also seen in ‘Mubarakan’ and last appeared in ‘Motichoor Chaknachoor’ opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
