Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal: Here's how their love story really began – from a backstage hello to secret holidays, and a royal wedding
and
Vicky Kaushal
are now one of Bollywood's most admired couples—but their love story was a quiet one that unfolded behind the scenes. It has been four years since Katrina 'hard launched' their relationship in 2021 by posting their wedding photos straight to Instagram.
While many know the couple 'properly' met at
Zoya Akhtar
's house—thanks to 'Koffee With Karan'—the real story of their very first meeting had remained a secret. Until now.
Their first meeting—behind the stage
Speaking to Pinkvilla, Vicky recently revealed that their first official meeting took place at the 2019 Screen Awards. He shared, 'So I was hosting, and I think this was the first time I ever met and interacted with her. On stage, of course, everything is scripted, and we're guided through earpieces.
But behind the stage, it was the first time we were introduced formally. Who knew!' That moment, though quick and casual, was the beginning of something truly special—though neither of them knew it at the time.
The moment that brought them together
After that first award show meeting, their paths crossed again during an interview for The Film Companion, hosted by Anupama Chopra. Years later, in 2024, Vicky mentioned Chopra once more in another interview, saying she played a key part in bringing them together.

While the pair remained low-key, fans were starting to take notice of their growing bond.
A colourful clue at a Holi party
In 2020, the two attended a Holi party hosted by Isha Ambani. It was a star-studded gathering that also included
Priyanka Chopra
and Nick Jonas. But what caught fans' attention was something Katrina posted after the party. She shared a photo of herself resting on someone's chest while wearing a yellow T-shirt. Social media users were quick to notice that Vicky had once worn a yellow T-shirt that looked exactly the same.
This led to a wave of online excitement, with many convinced that this was a soft reveal of their romance.
Matching posts, different accounts
Soon after, Katrina and Vicky posted separate pictures from Alibaug. Even though they didn't appear together in the photos, the background and location looked identical. It didn't take long for fans to connect the dots. Though the couple never confirmed anything at the time, their followers were sure that something special was going on between them.
Wedding buzz and secret plans
Despite their efforts to keep things private, news of Katrina and Vicky's wedding started spreading months before the big day. Paparazzi followed them closely, and reports about a royal wedding in
Rajasthan
began to surface.
In December 2021, the couple tied the knot in Rajasthan. Their wedding was a private and dreamy affair, with only close friends and family in attendance. When they finally posted pictures from the big day on Instagram, fans couldn't stop gushing.
A relationship kept simple and real
Since then, the couple has kept their love life mostly out of the spotlight. They don't often post about each other on social media, and they rarely talk about their relationship in interviews. But when they do, it's clear how much love and respect they share. Their chemistry speaks for itself—whether in rare photos, quiet birthday wishes, or simple glances on red carpets.

‘Detox' From Wife Hailey Bieber? Justin Bieber Shuts Down Divorce Rumors With Loved Up Four-Word Update
Justin Bieber is trying to silence rumors about trouble in his marriage with Hailey Bieber by sharing a sweet post dedicated to her on Instagram. On Sunday, the pop star shared four cozy pictures with Hailey Baldwin Bieber, showing them embracing poolside during sunset. The singer captioned the slideshow with just four words: 'My forever n always.' The rare public display of affection comes as speculation about the couple's relationship continues. In the pictures, Hailey's face is partly visible as she hugs Justin from behind, but her identity is mostly hidden. Justin and Hailey Bieber have been married for six years. The pair first met backstage at the TODAY Show in 2009, started dating in 2015, and reunited in 2018 after Justin's breakup with Selena Gomez. Rumors about their marriage trouble resurfaced last month when US Weekly reported that "things aren't great right now" due to Justin's "erratic behavior." A source told the outlet, "Justin's going through a difficult time, and Hailey is giving him room to get himself back on track. He's doing his best, but it's tough." Recently, the couple attended DJ Martin Garrix's show in LA to show they are still united. But fans raised eyebrows when Justin posted controversial Mother's Day messages, and Hailey's first solo Vogue cover also made headlines. Justin Bieber posts 'Detoxxxxxxxxxxx' selfies On the same day as the loved-up post, Bieber also shared sweaty selfies with the caption: 'Detoxxxxxxxxxxx.' The pop star has battled health challenges in recent years. He got sober in 2014 and revealed he has Ramsay Hunt syndrome in 2022, which affected his health and career. Justin also posted a video with their 10-month-old son, Jack Blues Bieber, with eight heart-eye emojis. Justin is planning to launch his new athleisure brand, SKYLRK, on July 17. He teamed up with Neima Khaila and Finn Rush-Taylor to create the brand, which will replace his previous label, Drew House. He has recently severed ties with his longtime manager, Scooter Braun, as well as bodyguards Keith Gibbs and Eric Johnson, and security guard Kenny Hamilton. He also parted ways with business manager Lou Taylor and 'swagger coach' Ryan Good.
