Athiya and KL Rahul’s love story
Athiya and KL Rahul reportedly met in January 2019 through a mutual friend and gradually developed a strong connection. After dating for a few years, the couple tied the knot in January 2023 in an intimate wedding ceremony at Suniel Shetty’s farmhouse in Khandala. Their wedding was attended by close friends and family members.
In November 2024, the couple announced that they were expecting their first child. They welcomed their daughter, Evaarah, in March 2025. Sharing the happy news, they introduced their little one with a beautiful message: “Our baby girl, our everything. Evaarah ~ Gift of God.” They also revealed her full name as Evaarah Vipula Rahul, with Vipula honouring her great-grandmother.
Since becoming parents, Athiya and Rahul have occasionally shared glimpses of their family life, while keeping their daughter largely away from the public spotlight.
Athiya Shetty’s journey in Bollywood
Athiya made her Bollywood debut in 2015 with Hero, opposite Sooraj Pancholi. The romantic action film was backed by Salman Khan and marked her entry into the industry. She later appeared in Mubarakan, alongside Anil Kapoor, Arjun Kapoor and Ileana D’Cruz.
Her last film appearance was in the 2019 comedy Motichoor Chaknachoor, opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui. Although she reportedly received several film offers after the release, Athiya chose to step away from acting. Her father, Suniel Shetty, has previously spoken about her decision to take a different path and focus on motherhood.
As Athiya celebrates another year of life, the loving birthday messages from KL Rahul and Suniel Shetty make the occasion even more special. From a father’s cherished childhood memories to a husband’s heartfelt declaration of love, the birthday wishes reflect the strong family bonds surrounding the actor.
