Katrina and Vicky’s love story dates back to 2019 when they first met at a party hosted by Zoya Akhtar. Katrina revealed on Koffee With Karan that Vicky was not initially on her radar, but his charm won her over. In a memorable episode, she admitted she thought they would make a great pair, and Vicky playfully pretended to faint, which became a viral moment.
The couple kept their relationship private for several years, with fans piecing together hints from social media. One popular clue was a photo showing Katrina leaning on someone wearing a mustard T-shirt, which resembled Vicky’s attire. They eventually tied the knot in a private ceremony on December 9, 2021, at Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan.
