Bollywood power couple Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif, who recently welcomed their first child together, have shared a heartwarming revelation about their unexpected journey to marriage. In a candid interview, Vicky recalled how he accidentally proposed to Katrina long before they started dating, creating a viral moment that would later become a significant part of their love story.
The Fateful Award Show Meeting
The couple's first encounter occurred at an award ceremony where Vicky was serving as host and Katrina was a special guest. Vicky performed the popular song 'Chikni Chameli' with Katrina on stage, marking their initial professional interaction. What made this moment even more special was the presence of comedian-actor Sunil Grover, who played matchmaker by introducing the two stars backstage.
"The first time I met her was at an award show which I was hosting, and she was a guest there," Vicky revealed during his appearance on 'Too Much With Twinkle and Kajol'. He added that Sunil Grover, who had previously worked with Katrina in the film 'Bharat', facilitated their introduction when all three gathered backstage after the performance.
Katrina's Unforgettable Hosting Tutorial
In a humorous twist, Katrina apparently decided to give Vicky some hosting advice during their very first meeting. Within the first five minutes of their introduction, Katrina began tutoring Vicky on how to host the award show effectively - despite the fact that he had already completed most of his hosting duties.
"First time I said 'Hi, Katrina' and she said 'Hi, Vicky' and she started telling me that you should not care about the audience," Vicky recalled with amusement. He described receiving a "full-blown tutorial about how to host an award show" from Katrina, even though only the closing remarks remained for the evening.
The Accidental Proposal That Went Viral
The most surprising revelation came when Vicky described how he unintentionally proposed to Katrina during another award show appearance. During a stage gag, Vicky asked Katrina, "Why don't you get married to a nice guy like Vicky?" - a question that would later become prophetic, though neither realized it at the time.
Vicky clarified that this wasn't a personal question directed specifically at Katrina. "The truth is that was a gag on stage in that show and that no matter which heroine shows up, I had to ask this question to them," he explained. Interestingly, while he asked the same question to multiple actresses that evening, only his interaction with Katrina went viral on social media.
The couple, who never publicly acknowledged their relationship before their wedding, have become increasingly open about their love story since tying the knot four years ago. They recently welcomed their baby boy, adding a new chapter to their beautiful journey that began with an accidental proposal and a hosting tutorial.
When asked about their dynamic, Vicky humbly acknowledged Katrina's superstar status, stating: "She is a superstar. A much bigger star, she is still the bigger star. She will always be." This heartfelt admission showcases the mutual respect and admiration that forms the foundation of their relationship, which has captured the hearts of Bollywood fans worldwide.
