Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul made their daughter’s official debut to the world in the most heartwarming way—on the cricketer’s birthday. On April 18, the couple shared the first photo of their baby girl and revealed her name: Evaarah, meaning “Gift of God.”
Taking to Instagram, Athiya posted a tender black-and-white snapshot featuring a glimpse of their little one and wrote, “Our baby girl, our everything. 🪷 Evaarah/ इवारा ~ Gift of God.” The post instantly melted hearts, with fans and celebrities flooding the comments with love and blessings.
The couple welcomed their daughter on March 24, 2025, a moment Athiya had previously hinted at with a delicate announcement—a painting of two swans with the message: “Blessed with a baby girl.”
Their journey into parenthood was first revealed in November 2024, when the pair shared a sweet post announcing their pregnancy. The post, featuring tiny baby feet emojis, read: “Our beautiful blessing is coming soon. 2025.”
Athiya and KL Rahul have kept their relationship low-key and elegant. The couple got married on January 23, 2023, in a private ceremony held at Suniel Shetty’s scenic farmhouse in Khandala.
Meanwhile, proud grandfather Suniel Shetty recently penned an emotional note on LinkedIn reflecting on his newfound role as a grandparent. “It’s funny how life works,” he wrote. “You spend years chasing success, but real happiness comes from the simplest things. Becoming a grandfather is a joy I can’t describe. Holding my granddaughter, everything else fades into the background.”
He also shared a cherished memory: seeing his mother—Evaarah’s great-grandmother—hold the baby in her arms, a moment he says has become a core memory.
With their hearts full and their family growing, Athiya and KL Rahul’s new chapter has only just begun—and it’s already full of love, gratitude, and joy.
