Their journey began in a rather cinematic fashion. At an award show, Vicky playfully proposed to Katrina on stage in a scripted moment that left Katrina blushing and the audience delighted. "Why don’t you find a nice boy like Vicky Kaushal and get married to him? The season of weddings is going on, so I thought you might want to do the same. As a result, I thought I'd ask you," Vicky asked on stage, as the song Mujhse Shaadi Karogi started playing in the background. She was quick to respond, saying that she did not have the courage to marry someone like him. Subsequently, they crossed paths at a party hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar, where their connection deepened.

Before officially meeting Vicky, Katrina had expressed interest in working with him. During an episode of Koffee With Karan in 2019, she mentioned Vicky as an actor she would like to collaborate with, essentially manifesting their future association. When Karan conveyed this to Vicky during a later episode, he humorously pretended to faint, showcasing his playful nature. He was genuinely shocked to learn that she had mentioned his name in the previous episode of the talk show. The duo later appeared on the talk show Tapecast, which, to their surprise, had no host. Instead, they had to answer a series of questions played on a tape recorder.

Despite being under constant media scrutiny, Vicky and Katrina managed to keep their courtship under wraps. While rumours and speculations circulated, the couple remained tight-lipped, allowing their relationship to flourish away from the public eye. Their discretion only heightened the curiosity and admiration of their fans. In 2020, Vicky was teased by Kapil Sharma on The Kapil Sharma Show. Kapil jokingly asked him, "Yeh afwah hai ki aajkal billi raasta kaat jaye toh aap bura nahi maante kyunki aapko Kat pasand hai" (There’s a rumour that these days, if a cat crosses your path, you don't mind because you like Kat). Vicky reacted with a cute smile.

Vicky and Katrina hosted their sangeet ceremony on December 7, mehendi function on December 8, and wedding on December 9. She opted for a red and gold lehenga for her special day, while Vicky looked stunning in a golden sherwani set. Their traditional wedding ceremony grabbed headlines.

Post-marriage, Vicky and Katrina have continued to support each other’s professional endeavours. They frequently express admiration for one another in interviews and on social media, showcasing a partnership built on mutual respect and love.

Vicky once told Karan that the most beautiful thing that had happened in his life was marrying Katrina. In an interview with Vogue, Katrina shared how Vicky makes her feel comfortable in their marriage: "He gives me a lot of love and appreciation. I think that’s an important aspect of learning – to accept or understand unconditional love," Katrina added.

Their journey serves as an inspiring narrative of love finding its way amidst the glitz and glamour of Bollywood.
