Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul are finally going to be parents. Earlier this year, rumours were rife that Athiya is pregnant with her first child after her father and superstar, Suneil Shetty, expressed his wish to become a 'nana'. However, they soon dismissed it, but it seems like Suneil Shetty's wish to become a grandfather came true quite soon.
On November 8, 2024, Athiya took to her Instagram handle and posted a cutesy baby arrival announcement. The actress, who loves everything minimal, didn't opt for a pregnancy announcement photoshoot but rather a simple picture note. In the photo, the parents-to-be penned how their 'beautiful blessing is on the way'. They even mentioned the year 2025. The picture note also had tiny feet and a cute amulet to protect from evil eye.

Suniel Shetty, who is a judge on the dance reality show, Dance Deewane, gave a casual statement. It soon created a stir in the media, and the report of his daughter, Athiya's pregnancy went viral. It all started when, during the grandparent's special episode, Bharti told Suniel that he has to behave when he becomes a grandfather, as no kid can handle such a cool grandparent. To which, Suniel said:
“Yes next season when I come I will be walking on the stage like a Nana.”
Suniel's statement instantly went viral, and people started wondering if his daughter, Athiya Shetty, was going to become a mother. Soon, people started speculating if Athiya and KL Rahul had chosen to keep their pregnancy under wraps like Anushka Sharma and Virat Kohli. The rumour got more fire after some people pointed out how Athiya's public appearance has become limited.
After the media started speculating about Athiya's pregnancy, a source close to the couple revealed the truth. The source clearly stated that the rumours are false, and rubbish. The source talked to the Hindustan Times about the ongoing pregnancy murmurs and called it a misinterpretation of Suneil's remark. The source said:
“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. It was a fun conversation, Suniel said it as a joke. Now, even he is surprised how his comment has been perceived by everyone. In fact, he didn’t want this buzz at all. It was unintentional. Several people haven’t seen the whole clip and are just assuming based on the reactions by social media users. He is shocked by all this."
We cannot wait to see glimpses of the mommy-to-be, Athiya flaunting her baby bump!
