Katrina Kaif: Katrina Kaif is away from social media for over a month, and it is silently giving us major lessons on how to be a mom away from social media
Katrina Kaif has mostly been off social media since the birth of her son Vihaan Kaushal on November 7, 2025. She has been enjoying this private, months-long break, embracing motherhood and making the most of her time with her newborn and husband, Vicky Kaushal.Rather than turning early motherhood into a running social media update, she’s spent months mostly offline, showing up rarely on feeds, healing, bonding, and being present with her loved ones who matter the most.Here are some tips to take away from Katrina Kaif’s take on parenthood as she chooses to go privateID@undefined Caption not available.

Set a “reveal on your terms” rule
The couple totally went by the rule of not announcing anything the day it happens. Katrina and Vicky waited nearly two months after Vihaan’s birth to even share his name, keeping it all private and warding off evil eyes for their newborn.
Mute notifications instead of quitting cold turkey
A full social media detox can feel extreme and hard to sustain. So, Katrina hasn’t disappeared entirely, instant she keeps going back and forth, occasionally putting out photos of herself with loved ones, like her Holi family picture, and one of her posts of Vicky Kaushal and her with baby Vihaan.
Keep your baby’s face off the internet
Katrina and Vicky have mostly shared hand-holding and hugging photos, rather than clear face shots of Vihaan. It’s a simple boundary tip any parent can borrow as your child gets to have a say in their own digital footprint later, instead of one being written for them from day one.
Return only when it feels good
Katrina’s first public outing after the birth wasn’t a big reveal; it was just an ordinary airport walk that happened to get noticed. No rulebook says you owe anyone an update by a certain week, so much like how Katrina did, come back to visibility when it feels like yours again, not before.
Protect the newborn bubble
The first weeks and months with a baby move fast and slip just as fast. Every minute spent captioning a photo is a minute not spent simply watching your baby sleep. Katrina’s long quiet stretch suggests she chose the second one, and that trade-off is one every new parent is allowed to make.
