On Diwali, one day after their son’s first birthday, Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal posted the first clear photo of Vihaan’s face.
The family photo shows all three smiling, with Vihaan raising his arms and looking toward the camera.
Our brightest Diwali yet…Wishing everyone love, light and happiness.- Vicky, Katrina & Vihaan.
They’d largely kept him out of public view, sharing only glimpses before the Diwali post. The couple announced Vihaan’s birth on November 7, 2025.
They first shared a photograph of his hand held between theirs, then said in January 2026 that his name was Vihaan Kaushal. The Diwali image offered a fuller view of their son.
In September 2025, they said Katrina was pregnant and shared a photograph that appeared to come from a maternity photoshoot. The caption described the approaching change as a new chapter.
On our way to start the best chapter of our lives with hearts full of joy and gratitude.

Vicky’s father, Sham Kaushal, wrote about his grandson’s importance to him and the happiness Vihaan had brought the family.
My Pota (grandson) is my jaan. May God's blessings be always with my Puttars. Vihaan has brought so happiness in our lives. Rab da shukar te Rab di meher.

The couple hasn’t established whether they intend to share more photographs of Vihaan.
Vicky’s next listed release, Love & War, is slated for January 21, 2027.
