Vicky Kaushal Cherishes Fatherhood, Plans to Introduce Son to ‘Masaan’

MUMBAI: Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal is embracing fatherhood with his wife Katrina Kaif, cherishing every moment since welcoming their baby boy in November 2025. The couple shared the joyous news through a heartfelt post, saying, “Our bundle of joy has arrived. With immense love and gratitude, we welcome our baby boy.”

Recently honoured with the Actor of the Year award at the NDTV Indian of the Year 2025, Vicky reflected on his evolving personal life and shared a touching milestone he looks forward to — introducing his son to his breakthrough film, Masaan. He said, “I would like him to watch my first film, Masaan. It’s a nice film… maybe later on, not too early, but it shows life as life is.”

Masaan, directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, marked Vicky’s debut as a leading actor, portraying Deepak Kumar, a civil engineering student working at the cremation ghats along the Ganges. The critically acclaimed film explores themes of life, death, grief, love, loss, and social stigmas surrounding pre-marital relationships, earning Vicky widespread recognition and establishing his successful film career.

Vicky also addressed raising his son under public scrutiny, emphasizing the importance of protecting his child’s privacy. “Guarding my privacy doesn’t come with fear. We want some part of our personal life to remain sacred and away from the limelight,” he said.

Professionally, Vicky had a landmark year with Chhaava, one of India’s highest-grossing films of 2025, directed by Laxman Utekar, which earned 807 crores worldwide. He is next set to appear in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War, alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.

Since tying the knot with Katrina Kaif in an intimate wedding at Six Senses Fort Barwara, Rajasthan, on December 9, 2021, the couple has continued to be one of Bollywood’s most admired pairs, now celebrating a new chapter with their first child.
