Back in September last year, Katrina and Vicky had announced that they were expecting their first child.

On November 7, the couple welcomed their baby boy. Since then, they have largely kept their personal lives private, choosing to savor the early days of parenthood away from the spotlight. On January 7, however, Katrina and Vicky took to social media to introduce their son and share his name with the world.

Announcing their baby boy’s name, the couple wrote, “Our Ray of Light ❤️ Vihaan Kaushal विहान कौशल. Prayers are answered. Life is beautiful. Our world is changed in a instant. Gratitude beyond words 🙏🏽🧿🕉️.” While they did not reveal their son’s face, the couple shared a touching family photograph showing their hands together, with little Vihaan’s tiny hand resting between Katrina’s and Vicky’s.

Fans were quick to notice the coincidence—or inspiration—and flooded the comments with excitement.

Soon after the announcement, several celebrities congratulated the couple. Hrithik Roshan commented, “God bless !! Welcome Vihaan ❤️ amazing news !
