In a heartwarming revelation that has Bollywood buzzing, Katrina Kaif has unveiled the name of her newborn son, drawing direct inspiration from her husband Vicky Kaushal’s iconic portrayal in the 2019 blockbuster ‘Uri: The Surgical Strike’. The couple, who tied the knot in a dreamy San Diego ceremony in 2021, welcomed their first child last month, and Katrina chose this moment to share the first glimpse with fans.
Taking to Instagram, the ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ star posted an adorable monochromatic photo of the baby’s tiny hand wrapped around her finger. ‘Our son… Abir Vicky Kaushal. Inspired by the brave hearts of our nation and the character that made us all proud,’ she captioned the post. The name ‘Abir’ echoes the fierce Major Vihaan Shergill essayed by Vicky, symbolizing strength and valor.
Fans flooded the comments with love, congratulating the new parents while reminiscing about Vicky’s powerful performance that earned him a National Film Award. ‘What a beautiful tribute to Uri and our soldiers!’ one user wrote. This naming choice underscores the couple’s deep bond and shared admiration for themes of patriotism that resonated nationwide.
Katrina, currently on maternity leave, has been relatively private about her pregnancy journey, sharing only subtle hints through stylish photos. Vicky, promoting his upcoming projects, expressed overwhelming joy in recent interviews, calling fatherhood ‘a new mission’. As the duo navigates this exciting phase, their little Abir has already captured hearts across social media.
This personal milestone comes at a high point in their careers. Vicky’s ‘Uri’ remains a benchmark for war dramas, while Katrina gears up for ‘Merry Christmas’. The family’s united front in celebrating national pride through their child’s name adds a touching layer to their celebrity story, proving that love and legacy go hand in hand.
