Bollywood actors Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Vihaan Kaushal, on November 7, 2025. Following this, Vicky Kaushal recently spoke about fatherhood at length. As their son is growing older, Vicky opened up about the realisations that have hit him, especially the things that his parents were right about when he was growing up.
In a chat with The Nod Mag, Vicky mentioned that he now appreciates his mother and father’s parenting a lot more. “When I look at my upbringing in retrospect,” Vicky said, “I understand so many things that they were right about. We weren’t financially flying. So, there was that pressure. But they had the responsibility of instilling the right values in me.”
Vicky Kaushal took six weeks off work when Vihaan was born, and when he had to leave his son for four days for a shoot 230 kms away, it had a great impact on the actor. “My heart sank. It was hard,” he said. “There are so many new feelings that surface almost on a daily basis, because being a parent is new to me. I understand now when others would say ‘Yaar, bacha kitna jaldi bada ho raha hai’. And I would think, ‘What are you talking about? Your child is still a year old.’ Now I get it,” the actor mentioned.
