“Check Your Facts”: Athiya Shetty Rubbishes Speculations Around KL Rahul’s Viral Nightclub Video

Actor Athiya Shetty, wife of India wicket-keeper batter KL Rahul, has hit out at trolls with respect to a viral video involving her husband. Doing the rounds across social media platforms since yesterday, a recent clip claims Rahul to be in a “strip club” as per some users.

In what was uploaded as just another Instagram story, it ended up bringing unnecessary worry for Rahul who is recovering from a surgery which he underwent to treat the thigh injury he suffered during the ongoing Indian Premier League 2023.

Currently in England alongside his wife, Rahul was bad-mouthed back home for paying a visit to a strip club when he was present at a place which appears more like any other club.

“Rahul, I and our friends went out to a regular place, as one does. Stop taking things out of context, and check your facts before reporting,” Shetty wrote in her latest Instagram story.
