KL Rahul Calls Athiya Shetty His Escape as Couple Reveal Daughter’s Name ‘Evaarah’
KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty, one of the most talked-about couples from the worlds of cricket and cinema, recently shared a heartwarming update with their fans—they have named their newborn daughter ‘Evaarah’. The announcement, made via a joint social media post on April 18, was accompanied by an adorable family picture, introducing their baby girl to the world. The name Evaarah, which has a soft and lyrical tone, is believed to mean “a gift of God,” reflecting the joy and gratitude the couple feels in embracing parenthood.
Beyond the announcement, fans were also reminded of a candid and touching interview Rahul gave before becoming a father, where he spoke about the immense emotional support he receives from Athiya. Speaking on a podcast, Rahul had referred to Athiya as his “safe space” and “escape”, saying she loves him for who he is, not based on his performance on the field. “She is my escape,” he said. “She keeps me grounded, and I am very lucky and grateful for that.”
The couple, who tied the knot in January 2023 in a private ceremony attended by close family and friends, have largely kept their relationship away from the media glare. However, moments like these offer glimpses into their deep bond and mutual respect.
As the two step into a new phase of life as parents, fans and well-wishers across the globe have poured in love and blessings. While KL Rahul continues to be a prominent figure in Indian cricket, Athiya has taken a step back from films to focus on family life. With baby Evaarah now joining the picture, the couple’s journey appears more grounded and joy-filled than ever.
