Cricketer KL Rahul’s birthday this year turned extra special as he and his wife, actor Athiya Shetty, chose the occasion to introduce the world to their baby girl and reveal her name: Evaarah.
The couple shared the very first photo of their daughter, capturing a heart-melting moment that instantly won over fans and well-wishers. In the photo, Rahul is seen tenderly holding their newborn, while Athiya gazes lovingly at them in a frame filled with emotion, warmth, and the quiet beauty of parenthood.
What does Evaarah mean?
Evaarah is a Sanskrit word that means “gift of God.” The middle name Vipula was chosen to honor Athiya’s grandmother (her nani), and Rahul is taken from her father KL Rahul’s name.
The couple first announced their first child via a heartwarming post featuring tiny baby feet emojis and the message: “Our beautiful blessing is coming soon. 2025.”
Rahul and his wife Athiya welcomed their first child a baby girl on March 24. Rahul missed Delhi Capitals’ opening match of the IPL season to be with his family during this joyous moment. Following the birth of the child, Athiya took to Instagram with a gentle, artistic announcement a painting of two swans accompanied by the words: “Blessed with a baby girl.”
