The photo series beautifully traced their relationship, from wedding memories to their new chapter as parents. The first image captures a rare, tender moment from their wedding, with Athiya embracing Rahul. Another black-and-white picture, seemingly from a holiday, reflects their quieter moments together.
One of the most heartwarming slides features Rahul’s hand next to their daughter’s tiny feet, subtly highlighting their life as new parents. The carousel also includes a glimpse from their mehendi ceremony and ends with a picture of their matching heart-outline finger tattoos, symbolising their bond.
The post drew love from several friends in the industry, including Karan Johar, Sagarika Ghatge, and Natasa Stankovic, who reacted with heart emojis.
About Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul
Athiya and Rahul first met in January 2019 through a mutual friend and quickly formed a strong bond. After dating for a few years, the couple tied the knot in 2023 at Athiya’s father Suniel Shetty’s farmhouse in Khandala.
The couple welcomed their daughter last year and revealed her name, Evaarah, on Rahul’s 33rd birthday. Sharing a picture of Rahul holding the baby while Athiya looked on, they wrote, “Our baby girl, our everything. Evaarah ~ Gift of God.” They also shared that her full name is Evaarah Vipula Rahul, with “Vipula” honouring her great-grandmother.
