Two months into becoming parents, Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif’s son’s name has been unveiled. The B-town couple unveiled their son, who is named Vihaan Kaushal, through their joint post on their Instagram account on Wednesday, January 7, 2026.

Mere Vikkuuu, from giving life to Major Vihaan Shergill on-screen to now being able to hold little Vihaan in your arms…life has literally come a complete circle.
