India's senior batter and skipper of the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) in the Indian Premier League (IPL), KL Rahul has been in the limelight for quite a while. Recently, the right-hander during the game against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) got a major blow in the form of an injury that not just ruled him out of the IPL but World Test Championship (WTC) final as well.
To facilitate his recovery, he was sent to London for surgery which he successfully underwent on the 9th of May. However, a few days after his surgery, a video of him emerged from an adult club based in London which caused quite a stir on social media.

However, now, his wife Athiya Shetty has issued a public statement on the matter mentioning that they went to a 'regular place' and that everyone should stop interfering with their personal lives.
“I usually choose to be silent and not react, but sometimes it’s important to stand up for yourself. Rahul, I, and our friends went out to a regular place, as one does. Stop taking things out of context, and check your facts before reporting. Peace and love.”
Athiya's statement comes after Twitter users have bashed Rahul for attending the club and it will be interesting to see if a different reaction comes from the star player in future.
Previously, he was involved in another controversy during the chat show 'Koffee With Karan' alongside Hardik Pandya back in 2019 which led to them receiving a ban for a few matches and a fine.
