Suniel Shetty has opened up about how he feels when his son-in-law, cricketer KL Rahul, is subjected to nasty trolling on social media. Right after Team India lost ICC World Cup 2023 final to Australia, the Indian wicketkeeper had received online criticism for not fielding well on the day of the final match. KL was also slammed for his poor strike rate in the middle-order as he scored 66 runs off 107 deliveries against the Australian team.

Now, in an interview with ANI, Suniel Shetty has spoken at length about how it affects him when people troll KL Rahul. He recalled how KL would often ask him to stop reacting to all the negativity that came their way by saying, ‘Dad, my bat will talk.’
“The faith of the people in him, the selectors, the faith of the captain, it said it all. It hurts me 100 times more than it would hurt Rahul or Athiya,” Suniel said.

Earlier, Suniel Shetty recalled the moment when his daughter, Athiya Shetty, made him meet KL Rahul for the first time. In the same note, the actor also compared that moment with his first scene on-camera.
“I was petrified on my first day on a film set, and almost never showed up. 30 years later, I still felt nervous on my first day of filming with the great Rajinikanth sir. At home, I felt jittery when Athiya was bringing Rahul over to meet us as a family for the first time.”
Suniel Shetty is best known for his works in films such as Mohra, Hera Pheri, Border, Dhadkan, Yeh Teraa Ghar Yeh Meraa Ghar and Awara Paagal Deewana. The actor has several projects in the pipeline including Welcome To The Jungle (Welcome 3) and Hera Pheri 3.
