Shetty also stated that when he got to know about the budding talent of the Indian cricketer, he would drive down to Wankhede Stadium to enjoy the sport and witness Rahul’s talent.

In the same interview, the veteran Bollywood actor recalled his first meeting with KL Rahul. Suniel stated that when the airport lounge manager told him that Rahul was eager to meet him, the humble actor told the manager that he would go to meet the sportsman. This is when Rahul came and they met and spoke for the first time.
Heaping loads of praise on his SIL, Shetty called him very respectful and humble. “Maine kaha tha ‘Yaar boht acha ladka hai ye’. Toh manifest toh kiya he hoga maine. I had said, ‘He is a very good boy’. So, I would have manifested it)”, stated the B-town star.
Later, when his wife Mana Shetty informed him that Athiya and Rahul are seeing each other, the Main Hoon Na actor was happy. Even today, he tells Mana that they’re lucky to have Rahul as their daughter’s husband.
