As soon as Athiya and KL Rahul's pregnancy news went live, a wave of reactions from Bollywood flooded their post. Celebs like Varun Dhawan, Parineeti Chopra, and Khushi Kapoor were among the first to hit the like button, showing their excitement. Suniel Shetty himself reshared the announcement with a simple yet touching caption, "blessed," which seemed to say it all about his happiness.

From what insiders shared, Alia Bhatt and Anushka Sharma responded with red heart and nazar amulet emojis, sending their love and good vibes. Ananya Panday chimed in, calling it the "best news," while Rakul Preet Singh and Sonakshi Sinha couldn’t hold back their excitement either, filling the comments with exclamations of joy. Arjun Kapoor humorously hinted at the baby on the way by saying, "Dumpling coming thru," adding his own quirky twist, while Vaani Kapoor sent her congratulations.

Athiya and KL Rahul's joint Instagram post was pretty minimal yet meaningful. They shared a sweet message hinting at their little bundle of joy arriving in 2025, pairing it with an evil-eye symbol and a white heart emoji—almost as if to wish for a smooth and safe journey ahead.

Earlier that day, paparazzi spotted Athiya at the airport, looking effortlessly chic. She opted for a laid-back vibe with a white hoodie, jogger pants, and a pair of pink sneakers. Tying her hair up in a bun, she was seen on a call while heading towards the check-in counter. This sparked rumors about whether she was taking off for a quiet getaway to celebrate the good news away from prying eyes.

The lovebirds, who tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Suniel Shetty's picturesque Khandala farmhouse back in January 2023, have always preferred keeping their relationship under wraps. Athiya, last seen on the big screen in Motichoor Chaknachoor opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui, might have taken a step back from films, but she’s clearly still in the spotlight, thanks to her personal life updates that fans can’t get enough of.
