Bollywood star Vicky Kaushal delivered a heart-warming moment at the NDTV Indian of the Year 2025 awards when he dedicated his Actor of the Year trophy to the newest and most precious addition to his life — his newborn baby boy.

Accepting the award for his powerful performance in Chhaava, Vicky’s speech took a deeply personal turn. Reflecting on what truly matters to him this year, the actor said, “This award is for my family, my wife, and my little one, who has entered my life as a blessing.” He went on to admit that becoming a father has brought more change and fulfilment than any professional milestone ever could.

The moment was even more special as this marked Vicky’s first public appearance outside Mumbai since becoming a father. The actor shared that he looks forward to one day telling his son about this achievement and hopes his child will feel proud of him when he grows up.

Adding a touch of humour, Vicky joked that he might now be better at changing diapers than acting — a line that instantly became a fan favourite online. Social media was flooded with admiration, with fans praising his humility and family-first mindset, affectionately hailing him as Bollywood’s “best papa.”

Vicky Kaushal and his wife Katrina Kaif welcomed their baby boy on November 7, 2025, ushering in a joyful new chapter in their lives. Since the announcement, the couple has received immense love and blessings from fans and members of the film fraternity alike.

From winning prestigious awards to embracing fatherhood, Vicky’s journey continues to resonate deeply with audiences — not just as a celebrated actor, but as a devoted family man.
