Actor Athiya Shetty and her cricketer husband KL Rahul recently performed a grih pravesh puja at their new home. A photo of the puja ceremony was shared by a paparazzo on Instagram.

In the photo, the couple can be seen offering prayers in their new home. They were seen twinning in white outfits for the special occasion.

Earlier this year, the actor announced the name of their daughter on Rahul’s birthday (April 18). She shared that the couple had decided to name their daughter Evaarah. The name is of Sanskrit origin and translated as “gift of God.” Their daughter was born on March 24 this year.

Recently, in an interview with Zoom, Suniel Shetty shared his daughter’s frequent reminders for him to avoid making controversial statements. This came after Suniel commented on Athiya’s childbirth choice.

He remarked, “I avoid controversial questions during promotional activities. I’m the kind of person who sometimes wants to answer, and then I mess up. And then I have Athiya at home saying, ‘Papa, why did you talk? Just say no comment!’ She keeps reminding me not to say anything that could get us into trouble the next day. She tracks all my interviews, and honestly, that’s the only person I fear. The best thing for a man to have is a baby girl in his life.”

“In a world where everybody wants the comfort of having a caesarean baby, she chose not to do that and had a natural delivery,” Athiya’s father said. His remarks sparked online backlash, with many labelling them as insensitive to the necessity of c-sections.

Athiya and KL Rahul met in 2019 through a mutual friend and got married in January 2023. Their wedding was an intimate ceremony held at Suniel Shetty’s Khandala farmhouse. It was attended only by close family and friends.
