When Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal stepped out in public for the first time after becoming a father, he had a statement to make. He smiled and said, “I am better at changing diapers than acting.” And in just one sentence, it showed how deeply fatherhood has already changed him.
From Film Sets to Feeding Schedules
Vicky Kaushal is known for intense roles, long shooting schedules, and complete dedication to his craft. But life after his son’s birth seems to be running on a very different timetable now. The one filled with late nights and diaper changes.
His joke reflected a new phase where family comes before films.
A Hands-On Father
Many celebrities talk about parenthood in big words. Vicky chose a simpler route. By openly speaking about diaper duty, he showed that he is not shying away from the everyday responsibilities of being a parent.
In a country where childcare is still often seen as a mother’s role, his comment quietly normalised shared parenting. It showed that fatherhood is not about watching from the side. It is about being involved.

The Private Life
Vicky and his wife Katrina Kaif have always kept their personal life away from the spotlight. From their wedding to their pregnancy journey, the couple chose privacy over publicity.
Even during pregnancy, Katrina was rarely seen speaking about it publicly, and Vicky maintained the same respectful silence. This makes his light-hearted comment even more special. It shows a glimpse of their new lives as parents.
Vicky Has Always Spoken About Family Values
This isn’t the first time Vicky Kaushal has shown how much family means to him. In several past interviews, he has spoken about growing up in a close-knit household and learning humility from his parents.
He has also shared how watching his father, filmmaker Sham Kaushal, work hard shaped his own work ethic. That grounding clearly reflects now, as he steps into fatherhood with the same sincerity.
In a world full of filtered lives, Vicky’s comment reminded people that parenthood is messy, tiring, and beautiful all at once.
The New Chapter
Fatherhood has only just begun for Vicky Kaushal. There will be film releases, red carpets, and big roles ahead. But for now, it’s clear that his focus is elsewhere.
Changing diapers may not win awards, but it builds bonds. And by his words, it is clear that Vicky seems more than happy playing this new role.
