Bollywood stars Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal have shared the first public glimpse of their son and revealed his name. The couple announced the arrival of their baby on Instagram on January 7, 2026, nearly two months after he was born on November 7, 2025. In a touching joint post they introduced him as Vihaan Kaushal and thanked fans for their love and blessings.
The big reveal on Instagram
In a short, heartfelt caption Katrina and Vicky wrote: “Our Ray of Light ❤️ Vihaan Kaushal … Prayers are answered. Life is beautiful. Our world is changed in an instant.
