Their wedding ceremonies will be a three-day affair at Suniel's farmhouse. The first ceremony will begin with a ladies’ night on January 21

Athiya’s parents--Suniel and Maya Shetty, brother-actor Ahan Shetty and her friends are expected to perform on her sangeet, which will take place the next day. “It is an extremely close-knit family affair. Only friends and family members will be a part of the wedding.

After dating for almost four years, the couple will finally tie the knot in the presence of their close friends and family.

On January 23, Athiya and Rahul will tie the knot in presence of just 100 guests from both sides. All of the guests have been instructed not to post pictures and their phones are being kept away. A lot of Bollywood biggies will be seen but apparently a few might be there since they are keeping it mainly to family. A big reception will take place weeks later, a report in Zoom Digital stated.
