Bollywood stars Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal’s romance seemed predestined. Their love story, marked by charm and spontaneity, began in an amusing twist of fate at the Screen Awards in 2018. Three years later, the duo celebrated their union with a grand wedding in Rajasthan.
The scene at the 2018 Screen Awards was nothing short of a spectacle. Vicky Kaushal, known for his playful demeanor, took the stage and, with a twinkle in his eye, posed a whimsical question to Katrina Kaif. “Katrina, ek choti si request hai aapse. Katrina, main aapka boht bada fan hu. Aap kisi ache se Vicky Kaushal ko dhund ke shadi kyu nahi kar lete?” (Katrina, I have a small request. I am a big fan. Why don’t you find a good Vicky Kaushal and get married to him?),” he asked, eliciting laughter from the audience, including Salman Khan.
With a season of weddings in the air, Vicky continued, “Shaadiyo ka season chal raha tha. Mujhe laga aapka bhi mann kar raha hoga toh maine kaha puch leta hu. (The wedding season is on. I thought you must be thinking about getting married too so I will ask you.)” Katrina, caught off guard, laughed and responded, “Kya? (What?),” just as the tune of “Mujhse Shaadi Karogi” began playing, adding to the comedic timing of the moment.
Vicky, undeterred, began serenading Katrina with Salman Khan’s iconic song, bringing a smile to her face. The audience, thoroughly entertained, watched as Salman Khan humorously pretended to faint on his sister Arpita’s shoulder. Katrina’s playful response, “Himmat nahi hai (Don’t have the courage),” added to the light-hearted banter.
Salman’s mock fainting spell concluded with him applauding Vicky and Katrina on stage, sealing the moment with hearty laughter and applause. This playful interaction at the awards ceremony became a memorable prelude to what would eventually blossom into a real-life romance.
In December 2021, Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Rajasthan, turning their charming on-stage jest into a lifelong commitment, much to the delight of their fans and the Bollywood fraternity.
