Katrina and Vicky have chosen to name their son Vihaan Kaushal. They shared this joyful announcement in a heartfelt joint post, featuring an adorable picture of little Vihaan’s hand resting on theirs.

In their social media post, they expressed: “Our Ray of Light… Vihaan Kaushal… Prayers are answered… Life is beautiful… Our world is changed in an instant… Gratitude beyond words (sic).”

Following the announcement, warm wishes began flooding in for little Vihaan. Actress Parineeti Chopra, recently a new mom herself, commented, “Little buddy!” complemented by a blue heart emoji.

Renowned filmmaker Karan Johar reshared their post on his Instagram Stories, congratulating them and sending his love: “Congratulations… all my love and blessings to Vihaan… @katrinaKaif @vickykaushal09.”

Other celebrities, including Dia Mirza, Bhumi Pednekar, and Katrina’s sister Isabelle Kaif, also reacted to the news with red heart emojis.

Katrina’s brother-in-law Sunny Kaushal elaborated on the name Vihaan, resharing the announcement and describing it as “The first ray of light.”

Interestingly, Vihaan was also the name of Vicky’s character in the 2019 blockbuster “Uri: The Surgical Strike,” where he portrayed Major Vihaan Singh Shergill.

Katrina and Vicky embraced parenthood on November 7, 2025. They joyfully shared the news on social media, stating, “Our bundle of joy has arrived. With immense love and gratitude, we welcome our baby boy. 7th November, 2025. Katrina & Vicky.” Their caption was simply, “Blessed. Om (sic).”

The couple tied the knot in 2021 after dating for a while, in a private ceremony held in Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan.

Popular television actress Avika Gor, who recently tied the knot with her long-term partner Milind Chandwani, has sparked pregnancy rumours after revealing a significant change is on the horizon for them in 2026.

Exciting Changes Ahead

Reflecting on an incredible 2025 filled with fresh beginnings, the ‘Balika Vadhu’ star expressed her enthusiasm about the upcoming year. She noted that it will bring big changes for the couple, something they are very excited about.

Milind chimed in, stating, “A change which we neither anticipated nor planned. In fact, we never even dreamed about it. But this is a huge and amazing change.”

When Avika asked him if he was nervous, he shared his excitement but admitted to feeling a bit anxious as well. “It is important for a person to be a little nervous in life,” he added thoughtfully.

Avika promised to share this exciting update with their YouTube family soon, generating buzz among fans. Many cybercitizens are speculating that the couple might be expecting their first child, with one comment reading, “baby coming” in the vlog’s section.

Wedding on National Television

Avika and Milind’s wedding took place in a grand ceremony on the reality show “Pati Patni Aur Panga.” Speaking about their decision to marry on national television, Avika acknowledged the potential for criticism. She stated, “When we decided to do this, we were very aware that there would be criticism—we weren’t surprised by that at all.”

The actress emphasized her commitment to making unconventional choices throughout her life. “I’ve always believed in carving my own path,” she added.

Describing her wedding as just another chapter in their journey, Avika remarked, “I knew my wedding would be unconventional. I’ve always said that my life and my journey are something people would dream to live, and I acknowledge that. I’m very grateful for it. But it’s not easy. It takes a lot to handle criticism and still keep going with what you believe in. That’s the reason I’m here today.”

Bollywood superstar Ranbir Kapoor and his wife Alia Bhatt have returned to Mumbai after their New Year vacation. On Wednesday, the couple was spotted at the Mumbai airport, greeted warmly by media personnel.

Ranbir smiled for the cameras as he sat inside his car with Alia, both opting for a casual look. Ranbir wore a solid black T-shirt paired with pants and completed his outfit with a cap, while Alia looked stunning in a white kaftan dress.

Earlier, Alia shared her first social media post of 2026, a touching tribute to her fairytale life with Ranbir and their daughter, Raha. The post featured a delightful photo of Alia dressed as a fairy godmother in a white dress, holding a wand, while Ranbir joyfully held little Raha in the air. All three twinned in white, offering a lovely glimpse from their New Year getaway.

Many netizens showered love on the post, with comments like “What a happy family,” “Heart is so full, such a beautiful frame,” and “Pics like these make me forget every other complaint I keep having.”

Alia and Ranbir welcomed the New Year along with their little bundle of joy during their vacation to a yet undisclosed location.

On the work front, both Alia and Ranbir will share screen space in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s much-anticipated love saga, “Love & War,” which also stars Vicky Kaushal. This film is set to revolve around a dramatic wartime love triangle, delving into the tension between duty and desire. It is believed that the project draws inspiration from the classic Bollywood film “Sangam,” featuring Ranbir’s grandfather, Raj Kapoor, along with Vyjayanthimala and Rajendra Kumar.

Additionally, Alia is set to showcase her action-packed side in the latest installment of the YRF spy universe, titled “Alpha,” where she will star alongside Sharvari. This project will mark the first female-led action film in the spy universe.

Actor and producer Ravie Dubey has exciting plans for the year 2026 as he embarks on the New Year with his actress wife, Sargun Mehta, filled with confidence and gratitude for the upcoming victories.

Sharing two romantic pictures with Sargun, Ravie extended belated New Year wishes, stating, “A bit late for a new year post… on time to share our intention… We step into 2026 with confidence, power, and pre-gratitude, Pre Honouring and Pre Celebrating the victories ahead. (sic)”

The ‘Ramayana’ actor hinted at many projects in the works, which they plan to unveil at the right moment. He mentioned, “There’s a lot in motion and a lot we can’t wait to share. For now, we’re holding that energy close. When the time comes, you’ll know… We love each other and We love you, and love is what will catalyse everything this year. Through everything we do this year, we choose inspiration, motivation, gratitude, and grace.”

Looking ahead, Ravie promised that by 2027, they will have made a significant leap into a beautiful and blessed future. He added, “By the time we enter 2027, we’d have taken an unprecedented quantum leap—a dimensional one, if you will—into all the good there is… Here’s to a powerful 2026. Thank you.”

Currently, the future appears bright for Ravie, as he will portray Lord Lakshmana in Nitesh Tiwari’s “Ramayana: Part 1,” sharing the screen with notable actors like Ranbir Kapoor and Yash.

This highly anticipated project features a stellar cast, including Ranbir as Lord Ram, Yash as Raavan, Sai Pallavi as Goddess Sita, Sunny Deol as Lord Hanuman, Amitabh Bachchan as Jatayu, and Lara Dutta as Kaikeyi.

Additionally, the film boasts the expertise of Hollywood’s top stunt directors Terry Notary (known for ‘Avengers’ and ‘Planet of the Apes’) and Guy Norris (‘Mad Max: Fury Road’ and ‘Furiosa’), who are choreographing the epic action sequences involving gods and demons.

Actor Sanjay Dutt’s elder daughter, Trishala Dutt, who works as a psychotherapist in the United States, shared insightful thoughts on social media about the perception of women who defy societal norms.

Challenging Conventional Paths

Trishala highlighted how women who choose not to marry or have children often unsettle traditional mindsets. She pointed out that such decisions challenge the unhappy yet well-accepted narrative of what constitutes a fulfilling life.

In her Insta Stories, she wrote, “Do you know why so many people are bothered when some say we don’t really want a marriage, kids, or a mortgage? Because our freedom challenges their unhappy, unfulfilled formula.”

Defining Happiness on Our Own Terms

She emphasized that there is no one-size-fits-all script for happiness or purpose. When someone opts for a different lifestyle, they are often labeled as loose, selfish, or wrong.

Trishala articulated the societal reactions: “And not because they are, but because some of us out here are proving there are other ways to live well and live peacefully.”

She stressed that life’s goal should not be to seek approval but to pursue what feels right for oneself, regardless of others’ opinions. “We’re not here to audition for approval from others. We’re here to build lives that make sense to US, even when they confuse others,” she asserted.

Cultural Expectations and Personal Choices

Trishala recognized that nothing disrupts South Asian culture more than the choice to forge one’s own path. She ended her post decisively, stating, “I said what I said.”

It’s worth noting that Trishala has decided against matrimony and is leading an independent life in the U.S. Recently, she shared another thought-provoking post discussing emotional manipulation. While her messages aren’t explicitly directed at anyone, many users speculate they may concern her father.

Trishala is the daughter of Sanjay Dutt and the late Richa Sharma, who tragically passed away in 1996 after battling a brain tumor. Sanjay later married actress Maanayata Dutt in 2008, and they welcomed twins—a son named Shahraan and a daughter named Iqra—in 2010.

They stated, “DHURANDHAR is not a film… it’s a milestone moment in Indian cinema that will be remembered forever. Congratulations to Aditya Dhar and Jio Studios for becoming the highest-grossing Indian film of all time (in a single language) (sic).”

The studio praised filmmaker Aditya Dhar for achieving a new benchmark in Indian entertainment. They noted, “As the captain of the ship, Aditya Dhar’s clarity of purpose, fearless storytelling, and unwavering commitment to excellence have set a new benchmark for Indian cinema.”

Thank you for giving us cinema that inspires us to strive forward in the pursuit of creative excellence.”
