If a recent report is to be believed, KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty are not expecting their first child.
Following comments made by actor Suniel Shetty on a dance reality show, speculation began to swirl about his daughter, Athiya Shetty, being pregnant. However, a source has clarified now that these rumors are unfounded. The situation arose when, during an episode of the show Dance Deewane, where he serves as a judge alongside Madhuri Dixit Nene, Shetty mentioned looking forward to becoming a grandfather.
A source told Hindustan Times,”There is no truth in the buzz. Suniel’s nana remark was said in a jest and in a very informal way. His remarks have been misinterpreted by all. They both are happily married, and enjoying this phase of life. They want to expand their family at some point of life, but they are enjoying this phase of life. At the moment, there is no truth to the pregnancy speculation. They will announce the news and share their happiness with everyone, as and when it happens. The family will come out and share — because that is the nature of the Shetty family. For now, they just want the joke to be taken as a joke, and not seriously”.
For the unversed, following the host Bharti Singh’s playful inquiry to the Heri Pheri actor about the type of grandfather he anticipates being, the actor had replied, “Yes, next season when I come (on the show), I will be walking on the stage like a nana”. This had sparked rumours about KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty expecting their first child.
In 2023, after a relationship that lasted almost five years, Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul tied the knot. Their wedding took place at Suniel Shetty’s farmhouse in Khandala, celebrated in a close-knit ceremony. By posting pictures from their wedding on Instagram, the couple made their marriage public last year. In their shared post, they expressed, “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.”
