KL Rahul and Athiya welcomed their first child on 24 March 2025, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their lives. The couple later shared a picture holding their baby in their arms and revealed the meaning behind her name. The caption read, “Our baby girl, our everything. 🪷 Evaarah / इवारा ~ Gift of God.”

Suniel Shetty, in a recent interview with Zoom, revealed that Athiya has stepped away from the film industry. He said, “She said, ‘Baba, I don’t want to,’ and she just left. And that’s what I salute her for—saying, ‘I’m not interested. I don’t want to do films.’ After Motichoor Chaknachoor, a lot came her way. ‘But I don’t want to. I am comfortable, you know?’”

Athiya made her Bollywood debut alongside Sooraj Pancholi in the Salman Khan-backed film Hero. She later appeared in films like Mubarakan and Motichoor Chaknachoor but failed to make a significant mark at the box office.
