From sparks flying on KWK to embracing Parenthood: Timeline of Katrina Kaif & Vicky Kaushal’s fairytale

Sparks on Koffee With Karan:

The earliest public connection between the two came when Katrina Kaif appeared on Koffee With Karan in 2018. During a rapid-fire round, she mentioned that she thought she would “look good on screen” with Vicky Kaushal. The remark instantly created buzz because, at that point, the two had not even met. When Vicky later heard the clip, he admitted it was a surprising moment — for him, it was proof that Katrina even knew who he was. This lighthearted mention became the starting point of endless speculation and gave fans their first reason to imagine the two together.

The first meeting:

Despite the public chatter, Katrina and Vicky did not meet until sometime later, at a gathering hosted by Zoya Akhtar. Both have since acknowledged that this was their first proper interaction. According to Vicky, this was when the “ice finally broke” and they actually got to know each other.

Dating whispers began:

By late 2019, reports started surfacing that the two were spending more time together. Sightings at parties and industry events strengthened the talk, though neither of them confirmed anything. Katrina herself later revealed that in the beginning, even as rumours spread, they were not officially dating, which made things slightly awkward. Over time, though, their bond grew stronger. Katrina shared in an interview that what impressed her most was Vicky’s grounded nature and principles, while Vicky often said that being with her made him feel “settled.”

The Big Fat Wedding In Rajasthan:

After months of rumours and no confirmation, the couple chose to go public with the ultimate step: their wedding. On 9 December 2021, they tied the knot in a private ceremony at Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan. The event was attended by close family and a few friends, with carefully chosen photographs later shared on their social media.

Interestingly, Vicky has revealed that he officially proposed to Katrina only a day before the wedding. With both of them caught up in work and preparations, the proposal happened during a quiet dinner just before guests began to arrive.

Married life in the spotlight; Yet Private :

Post-wedding, the couple has maintained a balance between public appearances and private life. They have been photographed at film screenings, red carpet events, and vacations, but have never turned their relationship into a spectacle. Interviews over the years show that they prefer to keep their personal milestones private, sharing only when they feel the time is right.

Pregnancy Announcement:

In September 2025, speculation about Katrina’s pregnancy gained traction. On 23 September, the couple ended all rumours with an official Instagram post. Sharing a picture together, they wrote: ‘On our way to start the best chapter of our lives with hearts full of joy and gratitude.’ The post confirmed that they are expecting their first child and was met with warm wishes from fans and colleagues across the industry.
