Vicky Kaushal’s Playful Kay Beauty Plug Goes Viral After Katrina Kaif’s ‘Sleep-Deprived Dads’ Quip

The light, unpaid shoutout shows how the couple’s new‑parent image can supercharge buzz for Katrina Kaif’s accessible beauty brand.

Overview

  • Vicky Kaushal, in an Instagram Story on Wednesday, showed off Kay Beauty’s jelly lip and cheek wand with the line “caffeinated cheeks” and joked it was “not a paid promotion.”
  • Kay Beauty reshared his post soon after and said it was “officially adding ‘caffeinated cheeks’ to our vocabulary,” pulling his phrase into the brand voice.
  • Katrina Kaif later reposted Vicky’s Story with the note “best for sleep-deprived dads,” nodding to their life with their infant son.
  • The back-and-forth drew quick fan reactions and broad pick‑up across entertainment outlets, turning a brief Story into wide publicity for the brand.
  • Mid-day reported the label recently added three shades—Cotton Candy, Cherry Cola and Iced Latte—to its Jelly Lip & Cheek Popsicle range, giving the viral moment a timely product tie‑in.
