Indian cricketer KL Rahul has impressed fans with his calmness and patience on the field over the years.
But it seems those qualities are just as important in his life away from cricket.
His wife, Bollywood actress Athiya Shetty, has opened up about Rahul's role as a father, revealing how much she admires his patience and the way he looks after their daughter, Evaara.
In a recent interview with Harper's Bazaaar India, Athiya spoke about her marriage, motherhood and the qualities she admires most in Rahul.
What Athiya said about KL Rahul
Athiya revealed that one of Rahul's biggest strengths is his ability to remain the same person regardless of what happens in his cricket career.
"He is somebody who is the same when it comes to failure and success. I wish I had his patience," she said.
She also praised his discipline, explaining that he approaches his training, workouts and professional commitments without making a fuss.
But it was her comments about Rahul as a father that offered a lovely glimpse of their family life.
"He is amazing with our daughter as well, and I think he was always meant to be a dad," Athiya added.
How motherhood has changed Athiya
The actress also spoke about how becoming a mother has changed her perspective on life.
