Vicky Kaushal turns 37 as wife Katrina Kaif shares heartfelt selfie on Instagram
Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal celebrated his 37th birthday on 16 May 2025, with warm wishes pouring in from across the Indian film industry and beyond. His wife, actress Katrina Kaif, marked the occasion with a personal Instagram post captioned "Happy Vicky Day," drawing attention from both fans and fellow celebrities.
The post featured a close-up selfie of the couple, with only parts of their faces visible, accompanied by heart and cake emojis. The understated but intimate image quickly gained traction online, with fans praising the couple's chemistry and simplicity.
Industry joins in birthday celebrations
The tribute from Katrina Kaif was met with a wave of responses from industry peers. Director Zoya Akhtar commented, “Happy B Vicky,” while actress Kareena Kapoor Khan added a red heart and rainbow emoji to the post. Mini Mathur, Sunny Kaushal, Sophie Choudry, and Anand Tiwari were among others who offered their wishes.
Vicky’s younger brother, actor Sunny Kaushal, also shared a nostalgic image of the actor holding a Polaroid picture from a previous celebration. “Happy birthday, meri jaan Vicky Kaushal,” he wrote, along with a red heart emoji.
Earlier in the day, their father Sham Kaushal, a veteran Bollywood action director, posted a video of himself dancing with Vicky, accompanied by a heartfelt message. “Father is the happiest person in the world to see his son moving ahead of him in life… Love u Puttar. Wish u a very Happy Birthday. Feeling proud & blessed to have u as my son,” he wrote.
From private beginnings to public affection
Kaushal and Kaif, both prominent figures in the Hindi film industry, have generally kept their relationship private since its inception. Speculation about their romance began following a lighthearted exchange on the celebrity talk show Koffee With Karan in 2019, where Katrina Kaif said she would like to work with Vicky Kaushal. Vicky, upon hearing this in a later episode, jokingly pretended to faint.
That televised interaction sparked a series of public appearances and eventual media attention, though the couple refrained from confirming their relationship until their wedding on 9 December 2021. The private ceremony, held in Rajasthan, was attended by approximately 120 guests, including actors Neha Dhupia, Angad Bedi, and filmmaker Kabir Khan.
Since their marriage, the couple has occasionally shared glimpses of their personal life, often receiving praise for their low-key approach and mutual support.
Careers in full swing
Vicky Kaushal has emerged as one of the most versatile actors in the Indian film industry. He recently starred in Chhaava, a historical action film that received strong box office returns. His upcoming projects include Love & War, a collaboration with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali, featuring co-stars Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor, and Mahavatar: An Epic Saga.
Katrina Kaif, meanwhile, was last seen in the 2024 film Merry Christmas, alongside actors Vijay Sethupathi and Radhika Apte. She is reportedly working on an upcoming film with Varun Dhawan, although no official announcements have been made.
Context: Celebrity culture and fan engagement in India
The birthday celebration reflects a wider trend in Indian celebrity culture, where social media plays a central role in maintaining public personas. Platforms like Instagram have become essential tools for stars to engage with their audience directly, especially during personal milestones such as birthdays and anniversaries.
In this case, the combination of affection, humour, and nostalgia shared by Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal appears to have resonated strongly with fans, reinforcing their reputation as one of Bollywood's most admired couples.
