Suniel Shetty on son-in-law KL Rahul’s smashing comeback to cricket: ‘From a cricketer to a son, I continue to be his fan’

Suniel Shetty is a happy and proud father-in-law with KL Rahul making a splash at the World Cup 2023. The Indian cricketer had a low phase last year before making a comeback earlier this September during the Asia Cup. The batsman-wicketkeeper has continued the momentum, leaving his fans joyous. Shetty, who calls himself a ‘fan’ shared that if a person is ‘good’, no one can run them down.

“Good deeds never go unnoticed, even if you try everything to run a person down. He has that fire, commitment, discipline and consistency. He also has that urge to do something. And above all, he has a large heart which is always ready to give. I always tell my children it’s the art of giving that teaches you the art of living. As for Rahul, I have been a fan since he was a cricketer, and today, when he’s a son, not even my son-in-law, I still am a fan,” Suniel Shetty told indianexpress.com.

He added that it’s an unbelievable relationship that he shares with KL Rahul. “I often tell Athiya how she’s truly blessed to have him as a partner. And she believes it too,” he added.

KL Rahul has had fantastic stint in the World Cup 2023. The 31-year-old made 347 runs in the nine matches that he played. In the match with Netherlands on Sunday, Rahul smashed India’s fastest-ever World Cup century, breaking Rohit Sharma’s record.

On the work front, Suniel Shetty said that they would first start with Welcome’s new chapter and then go on to shoot Hera Phera 3. He said, “It’s amazing how the franchises are bringing together all the yesteryear stars. They have made you laugh and cry and brought families together. We will really miss Om ji while filming. Khadak Singh was as important as Raju, Shyam and Babu Bhaiya. We will all miss him for sure.”
