Are KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty in a serious relationship?

Actress Athiya Shetty, who has made her Bollywood debut alongside Sooraj Pancholi in the 2015 release Hero, has made her presence felt with movies like Mubarakan and Nawabzaade. While the actress shells out major fashion goals with her photos on the social networking website she often manages to make heads turn with every public appearance she makes. Now, Athiya is making headlines for her relationship status and if reports are anything to go by, the diva is reportedly dating Indian cricketer, KL Rahul. 

A report in Bollywood life states that the two started dating in the month of Feburary this year and are quite serious about each other. While both Rahul and Athiya have refrained from commenting on their relationship, a source was quoted by an entertainment portal as saying, "Rahul and Athiya have been going around with each other. They started dating since a little before February, this year. And things are quite serious." 

Earlier, the cricketer was rumoured to be linked with Jannat actress Sonal Chauhan but in an interview with Bollywood Bubble, the diva dismissed the rumours and was quoted as saying, "No, not at all. He is a very good cricketer, talented and nice guy."

Last year, on Athiya's 26th birthday, American rapper Drake left a sweet comment on her social media post. The actress shared a photo on Instagram in which she was seen cutting a cake with a party hat on. Captioned, "his one was extra special and happy indeed. Thank you for all the love, wishes, and blessings. I truly feel so tremendously grateful and special. To my main people, I love you. You know who you are. PS: 26, be kind," Athiya looked nothing but downright gorgeous in the picture. As soon as the photo surfaced on the web, Drake commented, "Happy birthday to my Shetty a true Goddess. Guess who is watching Mubakaran 3 times on the tour bus in your honour." Take a look at the photo and the screengrab of Drake's comment below:

While fans were wondering of what was cooking between the two, a report in DNA revealed that Drake and Athiya met in a night club in London and hit it off instantly. After following each other on social media, the duo reportedly became good friends.

Meanwhile, on her work front, Athiya is currently shooting for her film titled Motichoor Chaknachoor opposite Nawazuddin Siddique. Apart from Athiya and Nawaz, the flick is set to star Vibha Chibber, Sanjeev Vatsa, Bhumika Dube, Usha Nagar and Devansh Kumar in pivotal roles.
