Vicky Kaushal says seeing Katrina Kaif's happiness with son Vihaan makes him feel amazing: ‘You just feel if you could pause this and live more’

He and Katrina Kaif welcomed their son Vihaan in November 2025, and he has spoken about fatherhood several times since then.

Vicky Kaushal has been enjoying a new chapter in his life since becoming a father. He and Katrina Kaif welcomed their son Vihaan in November 2025, and he has spoken about fatherhood several times since then. In a recent conversation, the actor opened up about how becoming a parent has changed him, the little moments he shares with his son and why he now finds himself more conscious of his own behaviour.

Vicky Kaushal on the little joys of being a father

Vicky Kaushal on happiness of parenthood with Katrina Kaif after son Vihaan’s birth: ‘You just feel that if you could pause this’.

Vicky Kaushal spoke about watching Katrina experience these amazing moments with their son. “To just see your wife’s happiness in that moment and your child giggling, and you in that moment… You just feel that if you could pause this, you could just live this more… It’s just amazing. And I think it makes you incredibly sensitive as a human being. Also, at the same time, it makes you incredibly responsible as a human being, that now you have to practice what you preach,” Vicky said in a chat shared on the YouTube channel of Harit Zaveri Jewellers.

Vicky said it is the small, everyday moments with his son that have stayed with him the most. From hearing Vihaan’s first cry to watching him giggle or make a new expression, the actor said these moments have given him a sense of satisfaction that is difficult to explain. “Every day, every little moment when your child giggles, their first cry and their first new expression and their first new gesture… It’s just amazing to see that, experience that. They say that humans never feel satisfied but I feel that in the last 10 months, I have lived so many moments where I have felt that this is it, this is complete, I don’t want anything more, and I have felt that,” he said.

Fatherhood has made Vicky more conscious of himself

Vicky also admitted that becoming a father has changed the way he looks at his own actions. He said he is now more aware of his behaviour because he knows his son will learn a lot simply by watching what happens at home.

“Your child’s first learning is going to be subconsciously what he sees at home, and he is going to be taking all those things in, so you have…. I have never started monitoring myself so much as in the last 10 months that I have monitored myself. You have to be the way so that your child can learn something from you. That has been my biggest learning,” he added.

Vicky and Katrina’s journey as parents

Vicky and Katrina announced the arrival of their son on November 7, 2025, with a simple Instagram post. “Our bundle of joy has arrived. With immense love and gratitude, we welcome our baby boy”.

The couple revealed his name, Vihaan Kaushal, in January 2026, two months after announcing his birth. Since then, both Vicky and Katrina have largely kept their son away from the public eye while occasionally speaking about their experience as parents.
