Vicky Kaushal's Alleged Baby Photos Shown to Alia Bhatt Spark Fan Frenzy

A heartwarming moment between Vicky Kaushal and Alia Bhatt at the recent Filmfare OTT Awards 2025 has ignited a wave of speculation among fans. Photos and videos circulating online show Kaushal seemingly sharing something on his phone with Bhatt, prompting an overwhelmingly delighted reaction from the actress. Bhatt is seen covering her face with a wide smile, appearing visibly touched by whatever she was shown.

Netizens are now buzzing with the theory that Kaushal was sharing pictures of his newborn son with Bhatt. Kaushal and his wife, Katrina Kaif, welcomed their first child, a baby boy, in November. The couple announced the arrival of their "bundle of joy" via social media, but have yet to share a glimpse of their son. This has led fans to believe that Bhatt may have been among the first to see the baby's pictures.

The images have sparked comments such as, "Vicky probably showing baby Kaushal pics to Alia, this is so cute," and referencing a "universal baby dad rule: always show your baby photos to your co-workers". Some fans expressed their desire to see the pictures as well, with one user commenting, "Seeing her reactions I wanna see the baby so badly now".

Kaushal and Bhatt have a known camaraderie, stemming from their previous collaboration in the film Raazi. The two are set to reunite in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War, also starring Ranbir Kapoor, slated for release in mid-2026.

Rishab Shetty Voices Discomfort Over Daiva Mimicry Following Ranveer Singh Controversy

Rishab Shetty, the actor-director of the critically acclaimed film Kantara, has publicly addressed the controversy surrounding Ranveer Singh's on-stage imitation of Daiva rituals at the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) in Goa earlier this month. Shetty expressed his discomfort with the public mimicking of Daiva traditions, emphasizing their sacred and sensitive nature.

The controversy arose after a video circulated showing Singh imitating the Daiva form during an interaction with Shetty at IFFI. Singh's actions were met with criticism, with many deeming them disrespectful to the cultural and spiritual significance of the Daiva tradition in parts of Karnataka. Singh later issued an apology, stating that he did not intend to hurt anyone's sentiments and that his actions were done out of admiration for Shetty's performance in Kantara.

Speaking at an event in Chennai, Shetty stated, "That makes me uncomfortable. While much of the film is cinema and performance, the Daiva element is sensitive and sacred". He added, "Wherever I go, I request people not to perform it on stage or mock it. It is emotionally deeply connected to us".

Shetty also highlighted the efforts made during the production of Kantara to ensure authenticity and respect for local practices. He noted the risk of such traditions being reduced to pop culture once cinema reaches a broad audience. Shetty stressed the importance of understanding the emotional depth and significance associated with these rituals before recreating them. He emphasized that the film was made with great care and responsibility, seeking guidance from elders and practitioners of the tradition to ensure honesty and respect in its portrayal. This incident has sparked a broader discussion within the film industry regarding the importance of cultural sensitivity when representing traditions on global platforms.
