Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul are a perfect match

After wedding celebrations that saw Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul covered in couture, Vogue India showcases the couple in a new light. Despite being a power duo in the public eye, actor Athiya Shetty and cricketer KL Rahul radiate a sense of tranquillity. And this energy worked its way into Vogue India’s February 2023 digital cover, where they dressed down—quite literally. We caught up with them a month before they tied the knot, the proverbial calm before the storm. And that serenity came through in the shoot, which sees the newlyweds in a new, low-key avatar. Ditching classic wedding wear, they swapped couture for cosy fits—think pyjamas and bathrobes.

From the minute Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul walked onto set, any bystander would have been able to tell that they’re opposites who make it work—and look ridiculously cute while doing so. If the wedding images induced a sense of “I want what they have” in you, being on set with them would probably have made you feel single in a whole new way.

Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul share a love story as old as time. An introverted, young cricketer—the vice captain for India’s indomitable Men in Blue, no less—falls for a Bollywood actor who’s lived her entire life in front of the camera and is beautiful on all fronts. On 23 January, 2023, this couple took their vows in front of their close family and friends at Athiya’s family holiday home in the hills of Khandala, Maharashtra.
