After Bollywood stars Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal revealed the name of their newborn son, Vihaan Kaushal, warm wishes poured in from fans and industry friends alike. Among the first to react was filmmaker Aditya Dhar, who highlighted a heartwarming connection between the baby’s name and Vicky’s iconic on-screen role in Uri: The Surgical Strike.

The couple announced the news through a joint Instagram post, sharing an intimate photograph of Katrina’s hand, Vicky’s hand, and their son’s tiny fingers gently placed together. Alongside the picture, they wrote, “Our Ray of Light, Vihaan Kaushal.” Prayers are answered. Life is beautiful. Our world has changed in an instant. Gratitude beyond words.”
