A heartwarming picture of Ahan Shetty cradling his niece, Evaarah, has recently surfaced, melting hearts across social media. The image captures a tender moment between the actor and the newest addition to the Shetty-Rahul family, showcasing Ahan's "mama" duties.
Evaarah, born on March 24, 2025, is the daughter of Ahan's sister, Athiya Shetty, and her husband, cricketer KL Rahul. The couple announced her arrival and name on April 18, 2025, which coincided with KL Rahul's 33rd birthday. The name Evaarah, they revealed, means "gift of God."
The snapshot of Ahan with Evaarah highlights the strong family bond that the Shettys are known for. Ahan, who made his Bollywood debut in 2021 with Tadap, is seen embracing his role as an uncle with evident joy and affection. The picture has garnered much attention, with fans and followers showering love and blessings on the newborn and praising Ahan for his endearing gesture.
Ahan's close relationship with his sister Athiya and her husband KL Rahul has been previously documented. Ahan was seen in a photo with KL Rahul and his father, Suniel Shetty, wishing the cricketer on his birthday. The trio sported coordinated pastel-colored kurta sets. Suniel Shetty had expressed his affection for KL Rahul, referring to him as "Brother for Ahan, life partner for Tia, and a son for Mana and me."
On the professional front, Ahan is currently preparing for his next big project, Border 2. This film holds special significance, as it is a sequel to the iconic war movie Border, in which his father, Suniel Shetty, played a memorable role. Ahan has expressed his deep respect for his father's legacy and his commitment to honoring it with his performance in the film.
However, Ahan's journey with Border 2 hasn't been without its challenges. Suniel Shetty recently revealed that Ahan faced unfair criticism and negativity from certain factions within the industry after he chose to be a part of the film. There were alleged attempts to tarnish Ahan's reputation, with rumors being spread and paid articles being published. Suniel Shetty, in a protective stance, has warned those responsible, stating that he would expose them if such actions continue.
Border 2, directed by Anurag Singh and produced by JP Dutta, Nidhi Dutta, and Bhushan Kumar, is slated for release on January 23, 2026. The film also stars Sunny Deol, Varun Dhawan, and Diljit Dosanjh.
