Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper KL Rahul had a special ‘Happy heart’ wish for his ‘not so rumoured anymore’ girlfriend and Bollywood actor Athiya Shetty.
Wishing Athiya on the occasion of Valentine’s Day, Rahul posted an unseen photo with her on Instagram and he captioned the post, “Happy [red heart emoji] day (sic).”
In the selfie, Athiya can be seen wearing a printed full-sleeved crop top with denim, while Rahul opted for a white T-shirt with grey pants and a checked red and black shirt.
Interestingly, Athiya reacted to Rahul’s post and dropped a [red heart emoji] under the post’s comments section. As expected, the adorable exchange between the celebrity couple garnered the attention of netizens on social media and Rahul’s sweet Valentine’s Day 2022 post for Athiya soon became the talk of the town.
