Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif’s love story remained a mystery for the longest time. The couple kept their relationship away from the spotlight and only made it official when they tied the knot in a grand wedding in 2021.
While many speculated about how their romance began, Karan Johar had previously revealed that they first met ‘properly’ at a party hosted by Zoya Akhtar. Now, Vicky has opened up about their first ‘official’ meeting.
Vicky Kaushal shares details of his first meeting with Katrina
In a conversation with Pinkvilla, Vicky recalled that their first formal introduction happened backstage at an award show in 2019, where he was hosting and performed on stage with Katrina Kaif and Kartik Aaryan.
He shared, “So I was hosting, and this I think was the first time. First time I ever met her and interacted with her. So, stage pe toh obviously matlab yeh jo kaan mein laga hota hai, yeh humesha aapko peeche se bolte rehte hain ki achha yeh waali, yeh aise karo waise karo, they keep guiding you and it’s always scripted and everything. But, behind the stage it was the first time we introduced to each other formally. Yeah, so… Who knew!”
When asked if he felt nervous, Vicky responded with a smile, “No, no. Nahi nervous kya hona… But she was extremely sweet, she was extremely sweet. I didn’t know that she would be knowing me, but she was extremely sweet.”
He also reminisced about how Katrina later asked him to say his famous dialogue from Uri: The Surgical Strike (2019), and when she responded with ‘High, sir’ to his ‘How’s the josh?’ line, it left him blushing. The rest, as they say, is history.
On the work front, Vicky is gearing up for his next release, Chhaava, alongside Rashmika Mandanna and Akshaye Khanna. Directed by Laxman Utekar, the film is set to hit theaters on Valentine’s Day, February 14.
