Katrina Kaif’s first post after baby arrives is all about Christmas and calm

Katrina Kaif has shared her first picture since becoming a mother, offering a quiet glimpse into her Christmas celebrations with family. The actor welcomed a baby boy with husband Vicky Kaushal on November 7. While the couple has not revealed their child’s name yet, the post marked Katrina’s first public appearance after childbirth.

The selfie, shared on Christmas, features Katrina with Vicky Kaushal, his brother Sunny Kaushal, and Katrina’s brother. The group appears relaxed and cheerful, reflecting a low key family moment. Katrina, dressed in red, captioned the post, “Love joy and peace to all... It’s a Merry Merry Christmas!” The message stayed simple, matching the understated tone of the picture.

Soon after the post went live, fans flooded the comments section. One user wrote, “Omg finally you show up Katrina we miss so much, merry Christmas.” Another commented, “Mama papa’s first Christmas with their baby.” Several others referred to her as a “gorgeous mama,” while many asked about the baby, with one comment reading, “Where is our baby Kaushal.”

Earlier this month, Vicky Kaushal had shared a picture on their wedding anniversary, but Katrina had remained away from social media until now. Her Christmas post became a talking point largely because it signalled her gentle return to public view after embracing motherhood.

In a recent interview with GQ, Vicky spoke about how becoming a father has affected him emotionally. He said, “It is too soon to analyse. Every day, a new emotion hits. You surrender to this in a way you’ve never surrendered to anything.” He described fatherhood as a grounding experience that has shifted his priorities.

The actor also reflected on the difficulty of stepping away from his newborn, even briefly. “For the entire time that I was there, I kept feeling something pulling me back,” he said, adding that one’s centre changes after becoming a parent.

On the work front, Vicky is set to appear in Love And War. Katrina, meanwhile, is expected to take a maternity break and has not announced her next project. Fans continue to wait for updates, including the baby’s name or a first glimpse.g
