A post shared by Athiya Shetty (@athiyashetty)

Athiya and Rahul had announced in November last year that they are expecting their baby. They had shared a post on their social media handles that read, "Our beautiful blessing is coming soon. 2025." The couple tied the knot on January 23, 2023, at her father Suniel Shetty's farmhouse in Khandala.

Last month, Suniel had revealed that Athiya and KL Rahul will welcome their child in April 2025. When he was asked what dinner table conversations look like in the Shetty household, the Border star told Hindustan Times, "Right now, probably the grandchild. There’s no other conversation, and we don’t want any other conversation. We’re just looking forward (to meeting the grandchild) in April."
