Actor Vicky Kaushal has opened up about embracing fatherhood after welcoming his first child, a baby boy named Vihaan Kaushal, with wife Katrina Kaif. The couple, who shared the joyous news with fans in November last year, introduced their son to the world when he turned two months old on January 7, calling him their “ray of light” and expressing gratitude for this new chapter in their lives.
In a recent interview with Just Too Filmy, Vicky spoke candidly about how becoming a father has transformed him. Admitting that he is still learning what fatherhood truly means, the actor described the experience as “the most magical feeling” of his life. He said the emotions that come with being a parent are difficult to put into words, as they are a blend of love, responsibility, joy and awe.
Vicky shared that his priorities have shifted dramatically since Vihaan’s arrival. “Your centre changes,” he said, explaining how everything now revolves around his son. One light-hearted moment from the interview quickly resonated with fans online, as Vicky revealed his newfound fear of losing his phone not because of work, but because it is filled with countless photos and videos of his baby. “I’ve never bothered about my phone before, but now I’m constantly checking where it is,” he laughed.
The actor also spoke about how precious time has become for him, adding that he constantly feels a pull to return home and spend moments with his child. Calling fatherhood the biggest blessing of his life, Vicky credited God’s kindness for this profound happiness.
Fans have flooded social media with warm wishes for Vicky, Katrina and little Vihaan, celebrating the couple’s journey into parenthood and Vicky’s heartfelt reflections on becoming a father.
