She penned a note and revealed that she had visited a club in the city with her husband, KL Rahul and some friends. Dismissing all claims, Athiya wrote:
“I usually choose to be silent and not react, but sometimes it is important to stand up for yourself. Rahul, I and our friends went out to a regular place as one does.”
A few weeks back, KL Rahul and his wifey, Athiya Shetty visited the Mahakaleshwar temple in Ujjain, and a series of pictures from the same were shared on the internet.

Apparently, KL Rahul is going through a tough phase in his career right now, and netizens have been blaming his wife, Athiya Shetty, for the same. Moreover, as soon as the pictures surfaced online, netizens were quick to take a nasty dig at the cricketer and trolled him for his bad form. They flooded the post's comment section with hate comments and mocked KL Rahul in the meanest way. The netizens asked the cricketer to take retirement and settle down in his life, rather than ruin the Indian cricket team. Check out the comments below:
Earlier, in an interview with Siddharth Kanan, Suniel Shetty opened up about his son-in-law, KL Rahul's underperformance on the cricket ground and shared that he knows his children are fighters. Reflecting on the same, the actor said that he can't teach KL Rahul to play cricket as he is playing for the country and commenting on his performance would not be suitable. Suniel 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 our minds off it. I can’t teach KL Rahul how to play cricket. He is playing for the country, not playing gully cricket or for somebody to comment and say ‘aise khelo, waise khelo’. If I would have said it, that would have been for gully (street) cricket.”
