Bollywood power couple Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal have welcomed their first child, a baby boy, on Friday, November 7, 2025. The couple took to Instagram to announce the joyous news, revealing that their son’s name is Vihaan Kaushal. In a heartfelt post, they wrote, “Our Ray of Light. Vihaan Kaushal. Prayers are answered. Life is beautiful. Our world is changed in an instant. Gratitude beyond words.”
The choice of name carries a unique cinematic connection. Vicky Kaushal portrayed Major Vihaan Singh Shergill in the blockbuster film Uri: The Surgical Strike, which released on January 11, 2019. The film, celebrating its seventh anniversary this week, marked a turning point in Vicky’s career, establishing him as a leading actor in action and patriotic roles. Fans quickly noticed the parallel between the baby’s name and Vicky’s iconic on-screen character.
Katrina, 43, and Vicky, 37, have shared a relatively private personal life since their 2021 wedding at Six Senses Fort Barwara, Rajasthan, which was an intimate affair attended only by close family and friends. The couple announced their pregnancy on September 23, 2025, with a Polaroid-style Instagram post showing Vicky holding Katrina’s baby bump. Throughout her pregnancy, Katrina maintained a low public profile, focusing on family life.

The Kaushal family has expressed excitement over the newborn. Vicky’s younger brother, actor Sunny Kaushal, revealed in an interview that everyone in the family is thrilled and a little nervous about the new addition. Vicky himself shared in a candid conversation that he is “really looking forward” to fatherhood, describing it as a “huge blessing” and joking about wanting to stay home as much as possible once the baby arrives.
Professionally, both stars have had busy 2025 schedules. Katrina was last seen in the crime thriller Merry Christmas, while Vicky starred in the period drama Chhaava, one of the year’s highest-grossing films. Reports suggest that Katrina plans to take an extended maternity break to focus on being a hands-on mother, signaling a shift in priorities toward family life after years of a demanding career.
With the birth of Vihaan Kaushal, the couple has added a new chapter to their personal story, blending cinematic nostalgia with real-life joy. Fans across social media have celebrated the announcement, marking the occasion as a heartfelt milestone in Bollywood’s celebrity landscape.
