“Before leaving, the logistics department had asked all players for names of people travelling with each of them.
“The players were supposed to give the names of whether they would be travelling with wives or partners, for which KL Rahul listed Athiya Shetty as his partner.
“She travelled in the same bubble and stayed in Southhampton with the team.”
KL Rahul’s birthday post for Athiya caught the attention of several celebrities, friends and fans.
It also garnered a reaction from Athiya’s father Suniel Shetty.
