But when it hit theaters in 1993, it fared poorly at the box office and even worse in the court of critical opinion.

Vicky Kaushal is “very excited” to embrace fatherhood, and in a recent interview, he hinted that the arrival of their little one isn’t far away. Vicky and Katrina Kaif are preparing to welcome their first child soon. After months of speculation, the couple confirmed their pregnancy in September 2023 by sharing a beautiful announcement picture. Recently, during a candid chat with Nikhil Taneja, the Zara Hatke Zara Bachke actor opened up about this new chapter in their lives, expressing his happiness and subtly revealing that the much-awaited arrival of their bundle of joy may happen sooner than fans expect.
Being a parent is one of life’s most rewarding experiences. Though it comes with great responsibility, the happiness of holding a little version of yourself makes it all worthwhile. Vicky Kaushal is now ready to embrace this beautiful journey of fatherhood. In a candid chat with Nikhil Taneja at the second edition of the Yuvaa Conclave in Mumbai, the soon-to-be dad shared his excitement about welcoming their baby.
During the conversation, Vicky Kaushal opened up about the joy of becoming a father, describing it as “the biggest blessing.” He expressed his excitement about entering this new phase of life — embracing fatherhood. A video of the moment has surfaced on Reddit, where the URI actor, when asked what he was most looking forward to, laughed and replied that it was becoming a father. He said: “Just being a dad.”
In the same conversation, Vicky Kaushal shared how special this phase feels for him. He expressed his excitement about welcoming the baby soon. Although he didn’t reveal the exact due date, he hinted that it’s just around the corner. He was quoted saying: “I am really looking forward to it… I think it is a huge blessing… Exciting times, almost there, so fingers crossed. Mujhe lag raha hai ke main ghar se hi nahi nikalne wala hun.”
In early October 2025, rumours began circulating that Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif had already welcomed their baby. However, Sunny Kaushal clarified that the couple was still awaiting the arrival of their little one. Expressing his excitement about becoming a chachu soon, Sunny shared that while everyone is overjoyed, there’s also a sense of nervousness as they eagerly await the baby’s arrival. He said: “Khushkhabhri hai aur sabko badi khushi hai. Nervous bhi hain sab ki aage jaake kya hoga, so we are just waiting for that day to come.”
Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal shared an adorable joint post on Instagram, featuring a charming photo. In it, they held a black-and-white Polaroid showing Katrina proudly displaying her baby bump. Both stars gazed at it with heart-eyed admiration, eagerly anticipating the arrival of their little one. The post radiated love and warmth, receiving an outpouring of affection from fans. They captioned it with a heartfelt note, describing the pregnancy as the “best chapter” of their lives. “On our way to start the best chapter of our lives with hearts full of joy and gratitude.”
For the 90s kids thriving on Reddit today, the most pop-ular (or unpopular) author back then was Chetan Bhagat. His dealing of nonchalant characters, with rarely something unique, gained popularity for falling into familiar tropes and got much-talked about. So much so that Chetan’s books even became instant fodder for mainstream Indian cinema.
Cut to 2025, the world has moved on, and so have the modern day characters or couples. Now, those living in the age of situationships have got a new talking-point with Chetan 2.0 returning to his OG loved-genre of love stories.
Excerpts from an interview:
People love my love stories and that’s because there’s no formula in them. Each time it’s a fresh take on fresh issues. The age gap romance, in 12 Years, seemed bold and fresh and something I had not attempted yet. That’s why I felt it had something unique, which made me get back to love stories after more than a decade.
That carries an assumption that I care a lot for the screen. I don’t care; Indians care because they don’t read books. So they are always asking me, ‘When is the movie coming?’ As if movie is the ultimate Nobel Prize! They believe that in Indian society films are up in the hierarchy of art forms; but it’s not. Films are the lazy man’s form of art consumption. I’ve had five adaptations of my works, and been part of six movies. It took a good amount of time from my life. But, I’ve reached an age where I don’t care much for that. I mean, ultimately, the joy you get from reading 2 States (his last book in the same genre), you’re not going to get from watching the movie.
Any book will trigger a reader’s imagination… I was also in a phase where I was fascinated by Bollywood. I grew up watching movies and saw the same actors call me to say, ‘We love your stories’. Of course you get carried away… But, finally, I realised that the true essence of what I enjoy doing is not that… For me, the biggest creative satisfaction come from writing a fresh story with fresh conflict and societal observations.
When my first book came out, there were no smartphones or even cellphones. I remember people used to tell me how they’d tear up the books in parts to exchange and read… Today, everybody has a phone in their pocket and is constantly entertained. So I had to change my plots too, embrace videos and social media and maybe that’s the reason I’m still around. I’ve tried to change and see the new generation non-judgmentally. Like I didn’t understand ghosting. For my value system it’s very rude. But I’m trying to come to terms with this, and the times we live in.
It’s a 51-year-old man writing a story about a 33-year-old guy falling in love with a 21-year-old girl. If not executed right, this bold story could’ve come across as creepy, strange and weird. But after 21 years of writing, I think I’ve reached a stage where I can handle this all, sensitively.
