Athiya Shetty says 'Thank you for choosing us' as daughter Evaarah turns 1
Mumbai, March 24
Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul's little bundle of joy, Evaarah, turned one year old on Tuesday.
Celebrating her special day, the couple thanked the little one for choosing them to be her parents.
"Happy 1st birthday, my jaana (white heart emoji) Thank you for choosing us, we love you beyond words and beyond worlds. (sic)," they shared in a joint social media post.
The post further included a couple of glimpses from the 1st birthday celebration of Evaarah. In the primary pic, Athiya was seen holding her daughter high up in the air, with a massive smile visible on her face.
Next was a photo of the little one's hand next to her appetizing birthday cake.
After this, Athiya uploaded a picture of two animal-themed cakes, signifying the little munchkin's love for wildlife.
Last in the album was a snap of Evaarah holding her father's finger with her little hands.
It must be noted that the couple has not revealed their daughter's face even after a year of welcoming her into this world.
Athiya's actor brother, Ahan Shetty, also uploaded a picture with his niece on Insta Stories and wrote, "I year already ?!? Happy Birthday my Evuuu (sic)."
For the unversed, Athiya and Rahul started dating back in 2019. After being in a relationship for some time, they finally tied the knot on January 23, 2023. The ceremony took place at Athiya's father, Bollywood actor Suniel Shetty's, farmhouse in Khandala.
Athiya and Rahul welcomed their first child, a baby girl, on 24 March 2025.
Talking about Athiya's career in Bollywood, she made her acting debut in 2015 with the romantic entertainer "Hero". In her first project, she shared the screen with Sooraj Pancholi.
After this, Athiya was seen as one of the female leads in the romantic comedy "Mubarakan" in 2017, followed by another laughter ride, "Motichoor Chaknachoor" in 2019, co-starring Nawazuddin Siddiqui.
However, following this, Athiya decided to quit acting.

Respect to them for keeping their daughter's face private. In an age of oversharing, it's a very conscious and protective choice. The photos shared are still so sweet and capture the joy perfectly.
The animal-themed cakes are adorable! It's nice to see a celebrity couple having such a normal, loving celebration. Wishing the little one a very happy birthday.
It's a bit surprising to be reminded she quit acting. She had a promising start. But family comes first, and if she's happy being a mom, then more power to her. Happy birthday to the baby!
Time flies! Can't believe it's already been a year. The picture of her holding the baby up is pure joy. God bless the little one. May she be showered with love always. 🎂
A lovely update. It's refreshing to see a celebrity news piece that's just about family happiness without any drama. The Shetty family seems very close-knit.
