Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif's real-life camaraderie has now become a talking point

In hindsight, Karan Johar’s eponymous talk show’s sixth season, which wrapped up recently, was a stark departure from its predecessors. Instead of barbs, the guests traded compliments, made up with real and rumoured foes and forged new friendships.

While jury is still out on the potential equation between Sara Ali Khan and Kartik Aaryan, whom she crushed over before they ended up as co-stars in Imtiaz Ali’s next, another friendship is blossoming in B-town.In November last year, Katrina Kaif, 35, mentioned with KJo and Varun Dhawan, that she and Vicky Kaushal, 30, would look good together on screen. Fast forward to a month later, the news was relayed to Vicky on the show, who pretended to faint upon hearing it. Later, he would tell source, “I was surprised that she knows about my existence.”
In January, the actor-duo appeared to be capitalising on the headline-making development, when on an awards show stage, Vicky serenaded Kat with the song 'Mujhse Shaadi Karogi', even as the camera cut to Salman Khan (on whom the song was filmed from the 2004 film by the same name).
In February, Vicky confirmed his relationship with Harleen Sethi, saying that they had started dating in 2018, but in mid-March this year, the actress fuelled rumours of a break-up by unfollowing him on Instagram. Meanwhile, buzz is, Vicky and Kat have been in constant touch and chat throughout the day.
Interestingly, the pair is yet to collaborate on a film but are popping up everywhere together. Ten days ago, they made a joint appearance for an interview and shared the stage again at another awards show during which Katrina made Vicky blush by exclaiming 'High sir' to his 'Uri: The Surgical Strike' battle cry, “How’s the josh”.
On Tuesday, Vicky was quoted as saying that he is currently single.
