Athiya Shetty turned 33 this week and marked the special occasion with a heartfelt glimpse into her life — from childhood nostalgia to intimate moments with husband and cricketer KL Rahul. Taking to Instagram,
the actor shared a carousel of pictures that beautifully captured her personality — playful, grounded, and deeply loved.
From Childhood Giggles to Present-Day Glow
The post opens with a collage of Athiya’s childhood photos — all smiles, goofy poses, and unfiltered joy. It’s a tender reminder of the star’s infectious charm long before the spotlight found her. The series continues with snapshots of fresh blooms gifted to her, cozy dinner scenes, and soft-lit selfies that radiate calm happiness.
One of the most endearing pictures shows Athiya sitting on KL Rahul’s lap, both sharing a quiet laugh. The candid moment — Rahul relaxed on a couch, Athiya leaning into him — feels less like a posed photograph and more like a glimpse into a private world.
Inside Athiya’s Celebration
The couple celebrated with a special dinner, and Athiya even shared a peek at the menu — a spread featuring mushrooms, tuna, and lamb among other delicacies. She also showed off her birthday cake, playfully decorated with the words “Happy Burday Evaru ka mama.”
Dressed in a pastel pink shirt dress, Athiya kept her look effortlessly chic, matching the understated elegance of her celebration.
Love, Wishes, and Warmth
“Birthday things! 💖🌸✨ Thank you for the love and wishes… so grateful,” she captioned the post. The comments section soon filled with love — “Happy birthday, stunner,” wrote Samantha Ruth Prabhu, while Sonakshi Sinha added, “Happy birthday, baby doll.”
KL Rahul, too, made sure to post a heartwarming birthday note for his wife. Sharing an adorable set of photos, he wrote, “Happy birthday to my best friend, wifey, lover, stress ball, goofball ❤️ I love you more each passing year 🤗 @athiyashetty.” To which Athiya replied, “The storm to your calm. Love you.”
Their Journey Together
Athiya Shetty and KL Rahul tied the knot in an intimate ceremony on January 23, 2023, at Suniel Shetty’s farmhouse in Khandala. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Evaarah, in March 2025, after announcing the pregnancy in late 2024.
Athiya, who made her Bollywood debut in Hero (2015), went on to star in Mubarakan and Motichoor Chaknachoor. While she has stayed away from films for a while, her recent posts reflect a phase of contentment and quiet joy — the kind that needs no stage to shine.
