Since welcoming your first child Katrina Kaif last year, Vicky Kaushal Discovering a whole new side of life. The actor, who became father to son Vihaan Kaushal on November 7, 2025, recently talked about the lessons that fatherhood has taught him and how it has changed his approach towards parenting.Vicky reflected on the values ​​his parents instilled in him and admitted that becoming a father has given him a deeper appreciation for their efforts.Vicky said in an interview with The Nod Mag, “When I look back at my upbringing, I realize a lot of things he was right about. We weren’t growing up financially. So, there was pressure. But he was responsible for instilling the right values ​​in me.” The actor revealed that raising his son has made him realize the importance of leading by example rather than just giving advice. “It happens to me at the most random moments [instilling the right values] Now I have a responsibility towards my son,” he added, “He will learn by watching how his parents are thinking, talking and behaving. So, I realized that whatever you want to see reflected in him should come through your actions rather than words.”Vicky also opened up about the emotional challenges that come with becoming new parents. After taking a six-week break from work after Vihaan’s birth, the actor had to leave home for a four-day shoot around 230 kilometers away. He admitted that the separation was more difficult than he expected. He said, “My heart sank. It was hard.” This experience helped him understand the feelings that parents often talk about as their children grow up.“There are so many new emotions that come up almost on a daily basis, because being a parent is new to me. I understand now when other people say ‘Man, the baby is growing up so quickly’. And I’d think, ‘What are you talking about? Your baby is still a year old.’ Now I understand,” the actor mentioned.On the professional front, Vicky was last seen Laxman Utekar‘Chhaava’, with Rashmika Mandanna. He is currently busy shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s *Love & War*, which also stars Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor and marks their reunion with both the actors on screen.
