Actor Suniel Shetty is a cricket buff and he plays all the more attention now with his son-in-law KL Rahul being a popular Indian cricketer. The Hera Pheri star reveals that on days when KL Rahul underperforms on the field, they don’t like to discuss it at home. Suniel’s daughter Athiya and KL Rahul got married in January this year.
In an interview with Siddharth Kanan, Suniel also said that he can’t teach anything about cricket to someone like KL Rahul, who plays for the country and is an expert in his game.
He said, “We don’t discuss about failure or not doing well because we all know that they (his children) are fighters. We show more love. We talk about everything else in the world and try to take your mind off. I can’t teach KL Rahul how to play cricket. He is playing for the country, is not playing gully cricket or for somebody to comment and say ‘aise khelo, waise khelo’. If I would have said it would have been for gully (street) cricket.”
The 62-year-old actor is a proud father-in-law and says that eventually it is Rahul’s bat, which has to do the talking.
“I can see a young boy going through tough time but willing to stand up there and realise and work hard. Aur baat kya karega, balla hi baat krega baaki to baat karke fayeda hi nahi hai (What is there to discuss. At the end, his bat will do the talking) This is not films where as a team we can go out. He has to go out there, face that ball and play and he will and he continues to do that,” Suniel said.
Athiya and Rahul got married in an intimate wedding ceremony at Suniel’s Khandala property. The wedding festivities took place inside the bungalow and the glimpses were shared by Athiya on her social media account. The couple announced their wedding on social media with a picture from their special day and captioned it as, “In your light, I learn how to love…” Today, with our most loved ones, we got married in the home that’s given us immense joy and serenity. With a heart full of gratitude and love, we seek your blessings on this journey of togetherness.”
