Indian cricketer KL Rahul’s 33rd birthday came with an extra reason to celebrate; one that had fans smiling and hearts collectively melting across social media. On April 18, 2025, the cricketer and his actor wife Athiya Shetty decided the day to announce the name of their baby girl in the sweetest possible manner. In a shared Instagram post that was both dreamy and intensely intimate, the pair welcomed their daughter into the world with the following caption:
"Our baby girl, our everything. 🪷 Evaarah/ इवारा ~ Gift of God 🪷"
Along with this announcement, they posted a picture of Rahul cradling their daughter in his arms, with Athiya looking at her adoringly. And just like that, Instagram had one of its most wholesome moments of the day.
A Name Rich in Meaning
The meaning of the name Evaarah has its roots in Sanskrit, which translates to "Gift of God." This decision speaks volumes of the couple's overwhelming joy and gratitude at gaining parenthood.
Athiya Shetty posted on Instagram Stories announcing the significance of her daughter's name, Evaarah Vipula Rahul. She shared that "Evaarah" symbolises a divine gift, "Vipula" honours her great-grandmother, and "Rahul" proudly carries her father's legacy.
