Suniel Shetty reveals about his first meeting with KL Rahul

Suniel recently appeared on The Kapil Sharma Show to speak about India's first MMA reality show, Kumite 1 Warrior Hunt. In the episode, the actor also spoke about his daughter’s wedding and how he met KL Rahul. He was quoted saying ‘I had the pleasure of meeting Rahul first at an airport. I was thrilled to learn that he was from Mangalore, my hometown. I was a big fan of him and was happy to see that he was doing well. When I came home and shared the news with Athiya and Mana, they didn’t say much; they just exchanged looks with each other. Later, Mana came to me and said that Athiya and Rahul were on talking terms.’

He further added that ‘I was surprised that Athiya had not mentioned it to me. I was happy as I always told Athiya to connect with south Indian boys. Rahul’s house in Mangalore is only a few kilometers away from my birthplace. So, this was a happy coincidence.’
