‘Aisa ek friend mai bhi deserve karta hoon’ – Fans respond as Virat Kohli and MS Dhoni give expensive gifts to KL Rahul after his wedding

KL Rahul married his longtime girlfriend Athiya Shetty on January 23, and MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli both gave him expensive wedding presents. The two former India skippers spent a combined Rs. 3.50 crore on two incredibly fancy gifts for Rahul on his special day. In contrast to Kohli and his wife Anushka Sharma, who gave KL and Athiya a BMW worth 2.70 crores, Dhoni gave Rahul a Kawasaki Ninja bike worth 80 lakhs.

Although the precise models are unknown, it is assumed that Dhoni, a bike enthusiast himself, selected a Ninja H2R, which has a showroom price of Rs. 79,90,000 in India. Many well-known individuals from the Indian film industry and cricket were invited to Rahul and Athiya’s private wedding ceremony in Khandala, however many were unable to attend due to their hectic schedules.

While Kohli was playing the ODI series between India and New Zealand, Dhoni was practising for the upcoming Indian T20 League 2023, for which numerous videos have surfaced online. Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya were also invited, but both were on national duty like Kohli. Rahul, who was left off of the Indian teams for the ODIs and T20Is against New Zealand and even the opening two Tests against Australia in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, is anticipated to make a comeback for the three-match ODI series in the middle of March.

Actor Suniel Shetty and his wife Mana have also given the couple a lavish apartment in Mumbai worth 50 crores. They received an Audi worth 1.6 crores from superstar Salman Khan, and Jackie Shroff and Arjun Kapoor selected a watch and bracelet for Athiya that were worth 30 lakhs and 1.5 crores, respectively.

After the wedding, Athiya’s father joked that merely the “father” part should be kept and get rid of the “father-in-law chakkar.” “In-law ka chakkar agar hat jaye aur agar father hi rahu toh bhaut khoobsurat hai, kyunki woh part main bhaut ache se nibhaata hoon (It would be great to dispense with ‘in-law’ and have ‘father’ remain because that’s a responsibility I discharge well),” he said.
