Indian superstar cricketer KL Rahul married Bollywood diva Athiya Shetty, the daughter of Suniel Shetty, on 23 January 2023 at Shetty’s farmhouse. The pair had been dating for a couple of years before finally tying the knot this year.
However, before dating Athiya Shetty, KL Rahul had reportedly dated a few notable names, including Sonam Bajwa.
While fans continue to wonder whether Rahul really dated Punjabi actress and model Sonam Bajwa, there is a comment from KL Rahul under one of Sonam’s posts from 2018 that has gone viral in recent days.
On Twitter, someone asked the netizens “that one random celeb relationship that everyone moved on from but you literally cant forget it and think about it every day”
While many fans posted about past rumored relationships of actors with actors and athletes around the world, one cricket fan posted about a rumored relationship between Rahul and Sonam Bajwa.
“Just a call away”: KL Rahul comments under Sonam Bajwa’s post
This fan posted a screenshot of Rahul’s comment under Sonam Bajwa’s post in 2018, and well, to say the least, the comment is quite flirtatious and cheesy from the Indian cricketer.
In 2018, Sonam Bajwa had posted her image looking into, perhaps, a window. She captioned: “Watching sunset and thinking of you (heart emoji)”
Under this, KL Rahul commented: “Just a call away @sonambajwa”
This comment from the Indian wicket-keeper has now gone viral and fans had a chuckle at it.
Meanwhile, KL Rahul is reported to be taken as a specialist wicket-keeper in the Test series in South Africa. There are uncertainties over the effectiveness of Ishan Kishan and KS Bharat in South African conditions, against the Protea bowlers, with the bat. So it feels that the management might ask Rahul to do the keeping duties in Test cricket as well on tours outside Asia where Kishan is still untested in Test cricket, until at least Rishabh Pant gets fit and returns.
