The couple first met in January 2019 through a mutual friend, and their connection was instant. Over time, their relationship blossomed.
After several years of dating, they exchanged vows in 2023 at a picturesque farmhouse owned by Athiya's father, Suniel Shetty, located in Khandala.
Last year, they welcomed their daughter, whom they named Evaarah, meaning 'Gift of God'.
In a joint Instagram post, they shared the name of their daughter along with a touching photo of Rahul cradling the baby while Athiya gazed at her with affection.
'Our baby girl, our everything. Evaarah ~ Gift of God,' they wrote.
They announced their daughter's name on Rahul's 33rd birthday, revealing that her full name is Evaarah V.R. (Evaarah Vipula Rahul).
The post elaborated, 'Evaarah, meaning Gift of God. Vipula, in honor of her great nani and protector. Rahul, her papa.'
Athiya is recognized for her roles in films like Hero and Mubarakan. Her most recent appearance was in Motichoor Chaknachoor, directed by debut filmmaker Debamitra Biswal.
The movie features Nawazuddin Siddiqui and follows the story of Pushpinder Tyagi, a 36-year-old man living in Dubai who seeks a wife back home in Bhopal, where he meets his much younger neighbor, Anita 'Ani' Awasthi, who dreams of marrying someone settled abroad.
