Indian cricketer KL Rahul made sure his wife, actor Athiya Shetty, felt extra special on her birthday today. Taking to Instagram, the star athlete shared a series of endearing photos that offered fans a rare glimpse into their personal life, including a sweet snapshot of the couple gazing into each other’s eyes. In a heartfelt caption, Rahul didn’t hold back his emotions, writing, “Happy birthday wifey. You fill my heart with love and my life with meaning. You’re my biggest blessing. Love you.”
The birthday love didn’t stop there as Athiya’s father, veteran actor Suniel Shetty, also penned an emotional note for his daughter. Sharing a collection of precious childhood photos, Suniel reflected on her journey, admitting that even as she builds her own life, she will always be the little girl he could never refuse. “Watching you build your own little world, I realise some things never change. Happy birthday my baby. Love you more than I could ever put into words,” he wrote, proving that the bond between the father and daughter remains as strong as ever.
This year marks a particularly special milestone for the couple, who tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at the Shetty family farmhouse in Khandala on January 23, 2023. Their family grew even larger this year when they welcomed their first child, a daughter named Evaarah, in March. The couple, who announced their pregnancy earlier in November 2024, have been embracing parenthood with joy, frequently sharing glimpses of their new chapter as a family of three with their followers online.
