The Motichoor Chaknachoor actress and Suniel Shetty’s only daughter Athiya Shetty tied the knot with the cricket sweetheart and Team India Vice Captain KL Rahul on 23rd January. Post the hype and hoopla of the wedding bells and fervent fans waiting to take a close look of their D-Day on social media, the newly wedded couple is yet to share a sneak peek of their special day. The couple had requested their guest to follow a no-mobile-phone policy just like Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal. There are certain things we do know about the D-day preps, but most of it has been kept under wraps. However, there are various rumours doing the rounds about the wedding – who featured among the guest list, who made it to the venue, who wore what, the menu, the decor, and everything else about the day.
