Mumbai (Maharashtra), April 20: Cricketer KL Rahul turned 33 this week, and the celebration was extra special as he and his wife, Athiya Shetty, recently introduced their baby girl, Evaarah, to the world.
On Sunday, Rahul took to Instagram to share a heartwarming photo dump from his birthday celebration. The first image was a cheerful selfie, followed by a blue cake that read, “Happy Birthday Papa, we love you.” The post also featured clips of Rahul enjoying time with his pet, smiling with kids around another cake, and a charming toy statue holding a baby—symbolizing his journey into fatherhood.
Earlier, KL and Athiya had shared a beautiful black-and-white photo offering the first glimpse of baby Evaarah. The couple welcomed their daughter in March this year, after announcing the pregnancy in November 2024 with the message, “Our beautiful blessing is coming soon, 2025.”
