Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif never fail to melt the hearts of their fans whenever they express affection and compassion toward each other, whether it’s during interviews or on social media, especially since such moments are infrequent. One of the main reasons for their widespread adoration is the contrast in their personalities and backgrounds, which adds an entertaining twist to their unique bond.
Reflecting on their relationship, Vicky recently highlighted their shared values despite their diverse backgrounds. “Katrina comes from a completely different geography. But if you meet her family, you will see that her core life principles are similar to mine. In terms of family, ours is a middle-class upbringing, [where you value] what you have and how you have earned it. When we have family get-togethers, the difference is only linguistic. Actually, I was taken by surprise when I got to interact with her; it is not what it seems from afar. I was a fanboy and admired her for a long time… even if she was an astronaut, I would have fallen in love with her,” he said during a chat with The Week magazine.
Their unconventional dynamic, where the woman is the bigger star, is another aspect that sets them apart. Vicky respects Katrina’s extensive experience and independence in their profession. “When it comes to the profession, she is far more experienced than me. And also, she has lived a life that is more independent. I have had a more protected life. She has come up the hard way. Even when language was not by her side, she struggled her way through and really made that spot her own, which is amazing.”
For Vicky’s parents — Sham Kaushal and Veena — who “always missed having a daughter”, Katrina’s arrival has brought nothing but joy. “She tries speaking in Punjabi and understands it perfectly,” Sham said, adding “There are so many vegetables we eat now because she loves them so much. Now, when people ask me how they should introduce me, I tell them, ‘not as an action director, but as the father of Vicky and Sunny, and the father-in-law of Katrina Kaif.”

Vicky, meanwhile, also stated that Katrina is more committed to vegetarianism than he is. “She is way more vegetarian than I am. She enjoys simple food. Very rarely will she go for chhole bhature, but I would dive into that. My mother is happy whenever Katrina is home because, as she says, ‘All my life I have been trying to get these boys to eat tinde (apple gourd), beans, and turai (ridge gourd) and now I have a daughter-in-law who eats these every day.’ This is her staple food. She loves pancakes. We are just a regular couple with a profession that has put us in the public glare.”
Actor couple Angad Bedi and Neha Dhupia share a close bond with Vicky and Katrina and were among the first to sense the growing affection between Vicky and Katrina. Bedi, meanwhile, remarked that although Vicky and Katrina have contrasting personalities, they excel as hosts together. “They are both warm hosts but two completely different people. On Christmas, Katrina does a wonderful spread ― there is turkey, fish, different food for those who are vegan, gluten-free, and with certain dietary restrictions, and Vicky does not interfere because Katrina rules,” he said.
“Whereas, when Vicky hosts the evening and decides the menu, I think he is one of the first people to make sure he is at the table first. His palate is very desi and Punjabi, with dollops of ghee, butter, mirch masala. Together they are wonderful hosts. As the party starts, the music is soft and mellow, and you can tell that it is to Katrina’s liking. But, as the evening progresses, there is a different energy and Punjabi music kicks in, and Vicky and his close friends groove to it like there’s no tomorrow,” he added.
