Suniel Shetty is getting sentimental about his connection with cricketer KL Rahul, and honestly, it’s giving us all the warm fuzzies. According to reports making the rounds in Indian media, the Hera Pheri star has been reflecting on how his first encounter with Rahul happened long before the batter became family through marriage to his daughter Athiya.

The actor apparently revealed that he was genuinely impressed by Rahul’s cricket prowess before they ever officially met. It’s the kind of origin story that feels straight out of a Bollywood script, right? One minute you’re admiring someone from afar, the next they’re your son-in-law.

Interestingly, during the same chat, Shetty also touched on why he never jumped into the IPL team ownership game despite his massive stature in entertainment and business. Whether it’s a conscious choice or just never the right moment, the veteran producer clearly has his plate full without needing cricket franchise drama.

Our sources are keeping tabs on what else Suniel might be cooking up next.
