A Grandfather’s Joy

The Bollywood veteran recently opened up about the arrival of his granddaughter, Evaara, born on March 24 to his daughter Athiya Shetty and cricketer son-in-law KL Rahul. In a candid chat with ANI, Suniel Shetty expressed the overwhelming happiness he feels with the newest member of the family.

“She is not a superstar – she is a super duper star,” he affectionately said, describing little Evaara’s presence in their lives. Shetty admitted he often finds himself glued to his phone, endlessly scrolling through pictures of his granddaughter. “Ab main photo dekhne ke liye taras jaata hoon. Baar baar phone ke paas jaata hoon sirf uski photo dekhne ke liye,” he shared with heartfelt honesty.

The name “Evaarah,” meaning “Gift of God,” was revealed by the couple in a touching message that read: “Our baby girl, our everything. Evaarah/इवारा ~ Gift of God.” The birth announcement was met with love and excitement from fans and well-wishers across the country.
