Sham Kaushal thanks God for blessing his family with Vihaan; Vicky Kaushal says losing his phone isn’t an option now: ‘Have so many pictures of my baby’

Sham Kaushal took to his Instagram to express his gratitude.

On Wednesday evening, Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif took to Instagram to announce the name of their newborn baby boy: Vihaan Kaushal. Interestingly, the name Vihaan is also the character Vicky portrayed in his blockbuster film Uri: The Surgical Strike, directed by Aditya Dhar. As soon as the couple revealed the name, the comments section was flooded with congratulatory messages from fellow celebrities, including Hrithik Roshan, Farah Khan, and many others.

Now, Vicky’s father, Sham Kaushal, a highly respected action director in the industry, has taken to social media to share a heartfelt note about becoming a grandfather. Sharing the same picture of Vicky and Katrina holding their new-born’s tiny hands, Sham wrote: “My grandson, Vihaan Kaushal, no matter how much I thank God, it will never be enough. Blessings, blessings, and blessings.”

In a recent interview, Vicky Kaushal opened up about fatherhood and how life has changed since Vihaan’s arrival. Talking to Just Too Filmy, he said, “For the first time, I’m very scared that I might lose my phone. I’ve never cared much about my phone before, but now I have so many pictures, so many videos of my baby that I’m like, ‘Where is my phone? I hope I don’t lose it.’ You just crave that time with your child. It’s very, very precious, and it truly has been the biggest blessing of my life. God has been kind.”

During the same conversation, Vicky also spoke about working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next project, Love and War. “It’s on the bucket list of every actor to be a part of a Sanjay Leela Bhansali film. I’ve admired his films, I’ve admired him as a filmmaker, and I think he’s truly a unique voice from India, someone who has a vision, who tells stories in ways nobody else can. He truly is a master of the craft of filmmaking. I genuinely feel blessed that in just ten years of my career, I’m getting to be a part of his film with two fantastic actors that we all adore, Ranbir and Alia. So yes, we are filming right now. We are having a great time filming it, and we’ll see you next year.”
