In addition to the heartfelt post, Athiya also shared an Instagram story where she explained the meaning behind their daughter’s name. It read, Evaarah, V.R. (Evaarah Vipula Rahul), where Evaarah means “Gift of God.” She also explained that Vipula was in honor of her great nani and protector, and Rahul represented her papa. Athiya also wished KL Rahul a happy birthday in another story, as the day coincided with his special day.
The couple had first shared the news of their daughter’s arrival on March 24, 2025, with a quiet and touching post. They uploaded a painting of two swans, with the words, “Blessed with a baby girl,” and the birth date, “24-03-2025.” There was no long caption, just a baby emoji with a halo and wings — simple, peaceful, and full of meaning. It was their way of letting the world in on one of the most special moments of their lives.
Back in November 2024, Athiya and Rahul had announced they were expecting. Their joint post read, “Our beautiful blessing is coming soon. 2025.” It was a soft, heartfelt reveal that stayed true to how they’ve always been — low-key, but full of love. Though they don’t often share much about their private life, when they do, it’s always genuine and meaningful.
Their love story began in January 2019, when they met through a mutual friend, and things just clicked. After years of dating, they tied the knot in 2023 at Suniel Shetty’s farmhouse in Khandala, surrounded by close family and friends. Rahul is currently playing for Delhi Capitals in the IPL and performing exceptionally well. He missed the first match of the season as he chose to be by Athiya’s side for the birth of their daughter — a moment far more important than the game.See Also: Birthday Special: KL Rahul’s heartwarming family moments with Athiya Shetty and more
