Calling out the trolls for their mindset, Shivaleeka wrote, “Kya ho gaya hai means?!?! This is Motherhood! This is what normal postpartum recovery looks like – the good, the bad, the bloating, the exhaustion and everything in between."

Last year, speaking to The Hollywood Reporter India, Vicky spoke about fatherhood and said, “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.”

Talking about Katrina, he had said, “Right now, the mother is being the superhero and she has been a warrior through her pregnancy and she has been a warrior as a mother as well. I’m so incredibly proud of her and I love her so much.”

Katrina, in recent years, has become very selective with her onscreen performances and is choosing to concentrate on her makeup brand, Kay Beauty. Known for its makeup products, her brand recently entered the skincare segment and launched two new products. She was last seen on the big screen in 2024's Merry Christmas.
