A quiet first Holi as new parents

Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal marked a personal milestone on Tuesday, celebrating their first Holi since the birth of their son, Vihaan. The festival was observed at home in an intimate gathering with close family.

Katrina shared a group photograph on Instagram, captioned, “The Happiest Happy Holi,” accompanied by heart emojis. She was seen smiling beside Vicky, while his brother, Sunny Kaushal, posed playfully with a water gun. Katrina’s sister, Isabelle Kaif, also joined the celebration and later posted additional photos, offering fans a glimpse of the colorful afternoon.

Gradual return to public life

Nearly three months after giving birth, Katrina has slowly resumed stepping out. On February 24, she was photographed in Mumbai for the first time since welcoming her son. Dressed in a black hoodie and face mask, she was seen with celebrity fitness trainer Yasmin Karachiwala. The actor appeared to keep a low profile, heading directly to her car while avoiding photographers.

Vicky on fatherhood and Katrina’s strength

Speaking at an event hosted by The Hollywood Reporter India, Vicky reflected on becoming a father. “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,” he said.

He praised Katrina for her resilience. “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.”

In an earlier conversation with GQ, Vicky described fatherhood as transformative. Calling it a “grounding experience,” he added, “It’s too soon for me to analyse. Every day, a new emotion hits. You surrender to this in a way you’ve never surrendered to anything. It’s a feeling I can’t put into words, and wasn’t prepared for.”
