Vicky Kaushal Declares Fatherhood His Biggest Moment of 2025
Vicky Kaushal says becoming a father in 2025 transformed him, calling it his most grounding moment.
Bollywood power couple Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif have embraced parenthood with the arrival of their first child, a baby boy, born on November 7, 2025, marking a joyous milestone in their private yet celebrated love story. The duo, who tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan on December 9, 2021, announced the birth via a heartwarming social media post featuring a teddy bear in a blue stroller against a striped backdrop. The caption read: "Our bundle of joy has arrived. With immense love and gratitude, we welcome our baby boy. 7th November 2025 – Katrina & Vicky."
The news, shared just weeks after Katrina's reported due date in late October, sent waves of excitement across social media, with fans and celebrities flooding the comments with congratulations. The couple had earlier teased the pregnancy on September 23 with a Polaroid snapshot of Vicky cradling Katrina's baby bump, captioned: "On our way to start the best chapter of our lives with hearts full of joy and gratitude."
In a recent candid interview with GQ India, Vicky opened up about the transformative experience of fatherhood, describing it as his "biggest moment of 2025" and a "magical feeling" that has proven surprisingly grounding rather than overwhelmingly emotional. "I always felt that when the time comes, I will be all very emotional and ecstatic, but it has actually been the most grounding moment that I have ever experienced in my life," he shared, reflecting on the quiet joys of midnight cuddles and newfound family rhythms. The arrival of "Baby Kaushal," as fans affectionately dub him—though the couple has yet to reveal his name—has been met with an outpouring of love from Bollywood's inner circle. Priyanka Chopra, Arjun Kapoor, and even Katrina's "Jee Le Zaraa" co-star Alia Bhatt extended warm wishes, while Vicky's brother Sunny Kaushal declared himself "Main Chacha Ban Gaya!" in a playful post. Hospital sources confirmed both mother and child were stable post-delivery at Mumbai's HN Reliance Hospital, easing any early concerns.
The couple's journey to this point has been one of subtle romance and professional synergy, having first sparked dating rumors in 2019 before confirming their relationship through cryptic social media hints. Their low-key wedding, attended by close family and select stars like Karan Johar and Varun Dhawan, blended Hindu traditions with a nod to Katrina's British roots, setting the tone for their preference for privacy amid high-profile careers. Katrina, 42, continued selective work during her pregnancy, including promotions for her thriller "Merry Christmas," while Vicky dominated screens with the box-office smash "Chhaava," portraying Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj and cementing his status as a versatile leading man. This year alone has seen Vicky navigate action epics and emotional depths, balancing reel heroism with real-life tenderness.

Looking ahead, 2026 promises an exciting blend of personal bliss and cinematic highs for Vicky. His much-anticipated collaboration with Sanjay Leela Bhansali in the epic romance "Love & War," co-starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, is now slated for an August 14 release, aligning with India's Independence Day for maximum patriotic resonance—though earlier plans eyed March 20. Described as Bhansali's grand saga of love amid conflict, the film marks Vicky's first venture with the auteur, building on his recent successes like "Sam Bahadur." As the Kaushal family settles into this new chapter, fans eagerly await glimpses of their little one, perhaps alongside updates on the baby's name, which Vicky teasingly promised to reveal soon during a recent paparazzi encounter. With hearts full and horizons bright, Vicky and Katrina's story continues to inspire as a testament to love's enduring magic in Bollywood's glittering world.
