Journey to Parenthood
Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in 2021 at the Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan, surrounded only by close family and friends. Their journey into parenthood has been a much-followed chapter in their lives.
In a recent interview with Yuvaa, Vicky openly shared his excitement about becoming a father. He said, "Just being a dad. Really looking forward to it. I think it's a huge blessing and exciting times. Almost there, so fingers crossed. Mujhe lag raha hai main ghar se hi nahi nikalne wala hoon (I feel like I am not going to leave the house)." His dedication to fatherhood was further highlighted when he dedicated a recent Best Actor award to his then-unborn son, saying, "He will be proud of his dad."
The couple also celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary recently, embracing the new phase of sleep-deprived parenthood with joy. Vihaan Kaushal joins a growing list of celebrity babies born in 2025, marking a joyful year for Bollywood families.
