Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal has opened up about how fatherhood has transformed his life, sharing a candid and relatable fear that many new parents will instantly understand — the fear of losing his phone.
Speaking in a recent interview, the actor revealed that his priorities have changed completely since becoming a father. “Earlier, losing my phone didn’t bother me much,” Vicky said. “Now I’m scared of it — not because of the phone, but because it has all the memories.”
Phone now holds priceless memories
Vicky explained that his mobile phone has become a treasure trove of moments — from tiny smiles to everyday milestones that parents never want to forget. He joked that his anxiety isn’t about the device itself, but about losing those irreplaceable memories stored inside it.
“Every small moment feels important. You want to save everything,” he said, adding that even the most ordinary moments now feel special.
Parenthood brings sensitivity and caution
The actor also shared that fatherhood has made him more sensitive and thoughtful. He finds himself being more cautious in his decisions and more aware of his responsibilities.
“To be a father is a mix of happiness, worry and learning every single day,” Vicky said, noting that the emotional shift has been both overwhelming and deeply fulfilling.
Family comes first
Vicky added that his outlook on time has changed significantly. “Time feels very expensive now,” he said, emphasising that family has become his biggest priority. Even quiet, uneventful days at home feel meaningful, and he tries to be present as much as possible.
The actor and his wife, Katrina Kaif, had earlier shared a glimpse of their newborn on social media, affectionately calling their child a “ray of light”. The post drew warm wishes from fans and fellow celebrities alike.
Fans relate instantly
Vicky’s honest admission struck a chord online, with many parents saying they shared the same fear of losing phones packed with photos and videos of their children. Fans appreciated seeing this softer, personal side of the actor, calling it genuine and deeply relatable.
As Vicky embraces this new chapter, it’s clear that fatherhood has brought not just change, but a quiet joy he is savouring every step of the way.
