Vicky Kaushal on emotional moment after becoming a father: “It’s been the most grounding moment”

The year had already been remarkable for Vicky, but even the success of Chhaava, award nods, and box-office triumphs could not overshadow what he now calls the “biggest moment of 2025.” On November 7, the couple welcomed their baby boy, stepping into parenthood amid overwhelming public love and enthusiasm.

The announcement came through a heartfelt Instagram post, where Vicky wrote, “Our bundle of joy has arrived. With immense love and gratitude, we welcome our baby boy. 7th November, 2025 Katrina and Vicky.”

The message instantly took over social media, with fans, friends, and celebrities flooding timelines with congratulatory notes and celebratory edits.

In an interview with GQ, Vicky opened up about how becoming a father has reshaped him, saying, “Becoming a father this year is my biggest moment of 2025. It is a magical feeling. 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.”

Vicky and Katrina, who married in December 2021 in a private ceremony in Rajasthan, had confirmed their pregnancy in September. Their soft polaroid announcement — Vicky tenderly cradling Katrina’s baby bump — went viral instantly. The caption read, “On our way to start the best chapter of our lives with hearts full of joy and gratitude.”

As the couple embraces new parenthood, Vicky is also preparing for a busy 2026, including his much-awaited collaboration with Sanjay Leela Bhansali in Love & War, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, slated for an August release.
