The arrival of celebrity babies in Bollywood always sparks curiosity, but their names offer deeper insights into parental aspirations and cultural ties. Katrina-Vicky’s Vihann and Sidharth-Kiara’s Saraiyah stand out, each carrying layers of meaning that celebrate heritage and hope.
Vihann, the Kaushal family’s newest member, shines as brightly as its meaning—’dawn’ in Sanskrit. It symbolizes awakening, vitality, and promise, ideal for a child born during Vicky’s career peak post-‘Uri’ and Katrina’s selective comebacks.
Saraiyah, the Malhotra-Advani princess, derives from ‘Sarah,’ meaning ‘princess’ in Hebrew, with flows of ‘river’ in some interpretations. It mirrors Kiara’s grace in ‘Good Newwz’ and Sidharth’s valor, chosen perhaps for its melodic resonance and protective aura.
Behind the glamour, rigorous processes unfold. Families pore over ‘Grihya Sutras’ for auspicious sounds, consult experts for rashi compatibility. Vihann starts with ‘Vi,’ fitting Taurus traits for stability, while Saraiyah’s ‘Sa’ aligns with Libra’s harmony.
The pattern is widespread. Rishi Kapoor’s Raha meant ‘fragrance,’ Saif Ali Khan’s Taimur ‘iron-strong,’ Aishwarya Rai’s Aaradhya ‘worthy of worship.’ Even international touches like Kim Kardashian-inspired names influence, but desi roots dominate.
In an era of fleeting fame, these names anchor identities, fostering pride. As Vihann and Saraiyah toddle into spotlight, they carry not just stardom but stories etched in eternity, proving Bollywood’s naming game is an art of profound expression.
