The couple, who entered into matrimony in December 2021, made headlines earlier this year after publicly introducing their first child, expressing their joy with the phrase “Ray of Light” to describe him.

At a recent gathering, Kaushal extolled Katrina’s commitment during this transformative time in their lives.

Kaushal Acknowledges the Early Days of Parenting

During a discussion with Neha Dhupia at The Hollywood Reporter India event, Kaushal was queried about his experience as a new father. He replied, “He is three months old right now; there’s very little a dad has to do when the baby is three months old. I’m just trying to be a cheerleader, and I’m waiting for him to grow up so I can contribute more.” His remarks highlighted the unique nature of the early months of parenthood and the supportive role he aims to embrace.

Kaushal further recognized Katrina’s pivotal role, stating, “Right now, the mother (Katrina) is being the superhero. She’s been a warrior through her pregnancy, and she’s been a warrior as a mother as well. I’m so incredibly proud of her and I love her so much.” This acknowledgment of her strength underlines the partnership they share in their new journey.

Kaushal has previously characterized fatherhood as a significant life alteration. He stated, “Becoming a father this year is my biggest moment of 2025. It is a magical feeling. I always felt that when the time came, I would be very emotional and ecstatic, but it has actually been the most grounding moment that I have ever experienced in my life.” This reflection on fatherhood encapsulates the emotional depth and transformative nature of welcoming a child into one’s life.

The couple’s announcement of Vihaan’s birth resonated with joy, as they shared, “Our Ray of Light. Vihaan Kaushal. Prayers are answered. Life is beautiful. Our world is changed in an instant. Gratitude beyond words.” This message signifies their overwhelming happiness and gratitude as they embrace parenthood.
