Bollywood power couple Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif have finally unveiled the name of their baby boy, ending months of eager anticipation from their legion of fans. The couple, who welcomed their first child on November 7, 2025, made the joyous announcement on social media, sharing the first glimpse of their little one along with his meaningful name.
The Big Reveal: Vihaan Kaushal
In a heartfelt joint post on Instagram, the actors introduced their son to the world as Vihaan Kaushal. The couple's caption overflowed with emotion, calling him their "Ray of Light" and expressing gratitude for a life changed in an instant. The name Vihaan, which is written as 'विहान' in Hindi, carries beautiful connotations of dawn, morning light, and the beginning of a new era—a fitting sentiment for their new journey as parents.
A Nod to Major Vihaan Shergill?
Fans and netizens were quick to draw a poignant connection between the newborn's name and Vicky Kaushal's career-defining role. In the 2019 blockbuster 'Uri: The Surgical Strike', Kaushal portrayed the character of Major Vihaan Shergill. While the actor has not yet confirmed if the name was intentionally chosen as a tribute to his iconic on-screen persona, the coincidence has sent the internet into a frenzy of adoration and nostalgia.
The connection was warmly acknowledged by director Aditya Dhar, who helmed 'Uri' and is now working with Vicky on 'Dhurandhar'. He commented on the announcement post, writing, "Huge congratulations!! Mere Vikkuuu, from bringing Major Vihaan Shergill to life on screen to now holding little Vihaan in your arms, life really has come full circle." His comment perfectly encapsulated the special moment for the couple and their fans.
Life Beyond Parenthood: The Work Front
While embracing their new roles as parents, both Vicky and Katrina continue to be forces in the Indian film industry. Vicky was last seen in the 2025 historical drama 'Chhaava', which emerged as one of the biggest box office successes of that year. Currently, he is busy shooting for the highly anticipated film 'Love And War', a Sanjay Leela Bhansali directorial that also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.
The announcement has dominated social media trends, with fans and fellow celebrities flooding the couple's post with love and blessings. The choice of the name Vihaan has been widely praised for its simplicity, profound meaning, and its subtle, heartwarming link to a chapter in Vicky Kaushal's professional life that brought him immense acclaim.
