This comes only days after it was revealed that the BCCI had accepted KL Rahul's week-long break in January. Previously, Pinkvilla reported that the bride and groom-to-be had also finalised their wedding attire. "The soon-to-be bride and groom have finalised their attire for their big day," the insider stated.

When Suniel Shetty was asked about the wedding date, he said that only Athiya and KL Rahul may decide on a mutual wedding date once they are free of their work obligations. "I believe that jaise hi bachhe decide karenge" (it will happen as soon as the kids decide). Rahul's itinerary is available. Abhi Asia Cup, World Cup, South African trip, and Australia tour. Break milega bachho ko tab shaadi hogi. Is it true that ek din me shaadi nahi ho sakti? (Rahul has a packed itinerary that includes the Asia Cup, World Cup, South African tour, and Australia tour. The wedding will take place only when the children have had a chance to rest. It can't happen in a day, can it?)?" he'd asked.
