In a heartwarming turn of events, director Aditya Dhar has shared his thoughts on the name chosen by Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif for their newborn son: Vihaan. The couple joyfully welcomed their first child on November 7, and the name has stirred excitement online because it directly references Vicky's character in the acclaimed film, Uri: The Surgical Strike. In this popular 2019 movie, Vicky portrayed Major Vihaan Singh Shergill, a role that resonated deeply with audiences.
Aditya Dhar, who directed the film, took to social media to express his heartfelt congratulations. In a touching comment, he wrote: "Huge congratulations. Mere Vikuuu, from bringing Major Vihaan Shergill to life on screen to now holding little Vihaan in your arms, life has come full circle. All my love and blessings to the three of you. You're both going to be extraordinary parents." His comment was beautifully adorned with love and nazar amulet emojis, emphasizing his affection for the new family.
The couple had previously announced their pregnancy in an Instagram post dated September 23, where they shared a charming Polaroid-style image featuring Vicky tenderly cradling Katrina's baby bump. Katrina appeared relaxed and casual in a white top paired with jeans. Interestingly, while Katrina opted for a quieter approach during her pregnancy, Vicky continued to make appearances at various film events and social gatherings.
In a recent candid conversation with Yuvaa, Vicky expressed his eagerness about becoming a father, stating, "Just being a dad. Really looking forward to it. I think it's a huge blessing and exciting times. Almost there, so fingers crossed. Mujhe lag raha hai main ghar se hi nahi nikalne wala hoon," which translates to him feeling like he won't be leaving home at all.
Katrina and Vicky tied the knot in 2021 in a stunning ceremony held at the Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan, creating a memorable celebration of their love.
On the professional front, Katrina was last seen in the thrilling film Merry Christmas, while Vicky starred in the period drama Chhaava, which emerged as one of the highest-grossing films of 2025. It even claimed the title of the year's top Hindi grosser before the arrival of the blockbuster Dhurandhart.
