Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal Welcome Baby Boy
On Friday, November 7, Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal joyfully announced the birth of their baby boy. Sharing the news on social media, they received an outpouring of congratulatory messages from fans and well-wishers alike.
Background on the Couple
The couple married in 2021 after dating for several years and quickly became one of Bollywood's most beloved pairs. Vicky Kaushal grew up in Mumbai, raised by his father, action director Sham Kaushal, and his homemaker mother, Veena Kaushal.
Katrina Kaif’s Unique Childhood
Unlike Vicky, Katrina had an unconventional upbringing. She was raised by her single mother, Suzanne Turquotte, who initially worked as a lawyer before dedicating herself to international charity work. This work required frequent travels across continents, so Katrina and her seven siblings accompanied their mother around the world.
Absent Father
Katrina’s father left the family when she was very young, and she has not maintained contact with him since. Reflecting on this, she shared in a 2008 interview with Shoma Chaudhury:
“My father is not an influence, he was not part of our family; my parents separated when I was very young and I have never met him since.”
Learning from Her Mother
Growing up in such a diverse environment and under the care of a single mother deeply involved in charity work taught Katrina to be non-judgemental and resilient, shaping her perspective on family and life.
Summary: Katrina Kaif’s childhood, shaped by her mother’s global charity efforts and an absent father, influenced her resilience and open-mindedness as she and Vicky Kaushal celebrate becoming parents.
