Athiya Shetty, expecting her first child with KL Rahul, made her first public appearance since their pregnancy announcement, while Rahul prepares for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after a mixed year in cricket.
New Delhi: Actor Athiya Shetty, who is expecting her first child with cricketer KL Rahul, was spotted at the Mumbai airport on Tuesday (November 19), marking her first public appearance since announcing their pregnancy on November 8. Shetty looked radiant in an elegant white ethnic suit as she walked into the airport, exuding grace. While the actress tried to maintain a low profile and avoid the usual paparazzi attention, photographers managed to capture her pictures and videos during the outing.
Earlier this month, the couple shared the joyful news of their pregnancy on Instagram. Both Athiya and KL Rahul posted a heartfelt note that read, “Our beautiful blessing is coming soon. 2025 (baby feet emojis).” The announcement also included a clip art of the evil eye, adding a touch of charm to their post.
On the professional front, KL Rahul is gearing up for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy, set to begin on November 22 with the first Test in Perth. To sharpen his skills, Rahul participated in India A’s second unofficial Test against Australia A at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). However, his performance fell short of expectations, managing scores of just 4 and 10 in the two innings.
This year, KL Rahul has played seven international matches, amassing 265 runs at an average of 29.44, including two half-centuries, with a top score of 86. Meanwhile, Athiya Shetty, daughter of veteran actor Suniel Shetty, has carved her own space in the film industry. She made her acting debut in 2015 with *Hero* and later appeared in films such as *Mubarakan* and *Motichoor Chaknachoor*.
