On January 2, Athiya took to Instagram to share a heartwarming post featuring moments from their stroll. The first image shows her leaning on KL Rahul’s shoulder, both dressed casually and looking adorable together. In a subsequent video, the couple walks hand-in-hand, with Athiya proudly displaying her baby bump. She captioned the post with a playful note, “How cute, did you just say?”
Athiya included some wellness mantras for the New Year
In the final slide, Athiya included some wellness mantras for the New Year, which read: “Slow down often, count your blessings, be kind to your heart, believe in new beginnings.” She added, “2025, looking forward to you,” signaling her excitement for the year ahead.
Athiya is not the only one enjoying her time in Australia; actress Anushka Sharma is also present, supporting her husband, Virat Kohli. The two actresses were recently spotted together at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). A fan page on X (formerly Twitter) shared a clip of Anushka entering a restaurant in a casual white shirt and grey trousers, with Athiya following closely behind, glowing in a striped top and denim jeans.
Earlier, Athiya celebrated KL Rahul’s impressive performance during the first Test of the 2024 series against Australia, where he and Yashasvi Jaiswal set a new record with an unbeaten opening partnership of 201 runs. She shared a picture of KL Rahul from the cricket field in Perth on her Instagram Stories, expressing her admiration with the caption, “The one who never gives up. Never backs down.”
KL Rahul and Athiya Shetty tied the knot in 2023, and they announced their pregnancy in November of last year.
