Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal introduce their baby boy — meet Vihaan Kaushal
Bollywood stars Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal have officially introduced their newborn son to the world. Nearly two months after the baby’s arrival, the couple shared his name and the first public image on Instagram on 7 January 2026. The little boy was born on 7 November 2025.
Their Instagram announcement
In a heartfelt joint post, Katrina and Vicky wrote: “Our Ray of Light ❤️ Vihaan Kaushal … Prayers are answered. Life is beautiful. Our world is changed in an instant. Gratitude beyond words.” The accompanying photograph offers a tender glimpse — the newborn’s tiny hand resting against Katrina and Vicky’s palms, a simple and intimate image that captured fans’ hearts.
What Vihaan means
The couple chose the name Vihaan, a Sanskrit word often translated as “dawn,” “sunrise,” or “the beginning of a new era.” The name suggests hope, fresh beginnings and the promise of a bright future — fitting meanings for a much-celebrated new arrival in one of Bollywood’s favourite couples’ lives.
Warm wishes from fans and celebrities
Responses poured in across social media after the reveal. Friends and fans flooded the post with congratulatory messages and blessings. Actress Parineeti Chopra chimed in with a playful, warm comment — “Little buddy!” accompanied by heart emojis — and many others sent love and good wishes to the new parents and baby Vihaan.
Privacy, pregnancy and what led up to this moment
Katrina and Vicky had kept details about their son private since his birth, which built anticipation among fans and the media. They first announced the pregnancy in September 2025, calling it “the best chapter” of their lives. True to form, they have shared only a few carefully chosen moments, prioritising privacy while letting fans share in their joy.
What to expect next
The couple’s gentle reveal gave the public a sweet, private snapshot without compromising their family’s space. Fans will likely wait eagerly for any future photos or updates, but for now Katrina and Vicky appear content to savour the early days of parenthood and express gratitude for their little “ray of light.”
