Bollywood stars Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal have finally revealed the name of their newborn baby boy, nearly two months after welcoming him into the world. The couple, who became parents on November 7, had kept their son’s name private until now, sparking widespread curiosity among fans and media alike.
Putting all speculation to rest, Katrina and Vicky shared a heartfelt joint post announcing their son’s name as Vihaan Kaushal. The emotional caption read, “Our Ray of Light ❤️ Vihaan Kaushal. विहान कौशल. Prayers are answered. Life is beautiful. Our world is changed in an instant. Gratitude beyond words.” The announcement was met with an outpouring of love from fans, celebrities, and well-wishers across social media.
The name Vihaan holds deep cultural and emotional significance. Rooted in Sanskrit, Vihaan means dawn or morning, symbolising new beginnings, hope, and positivity. Often associated with brightness and fresh starts, the name reflects the joy and transformation the couple has experienced since embracing parenthood.
Earlier, Vicky Kaushal had playfully dodged questions about his son’s name. When paparazzi asked him, “Bete ka naam kya rakha hai?” the actor blushed, smiled, and replied, “Batata hoon,” promising to reveal it soon. Staying true to his word, the couple has now officially shared the name, much to the delight of their fans.
In a recent interaction with NDTV, Vicky also spoke candidly about fatherhood. When asked whether he had mastered changing diapers alongside acting and dancing, he laughed and quipped that he was better at changing diapers than acting. Opening up emotionally, the actor admitted that leaving the city soon after his son’s birth was extremely difficult. He shared that one day, when his son looks back, he hopes he will feel proud of his father, adding that the feeling of becoming a parent is impossible to put into words.
