10 Dec – It's official. Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif are now husband and wife. After weeks of various rumours regarding their wedding, the couple tied the knot on 9 December in an intimate ceremony at the Six Senses Fort Hotel of Fort Bardwara. Prior to the ceremony itself, the couple held various pre-wedding festivities including a mehendi and a haldi ceremony on Tuesday 7 December, followed by a sangeet the day after. Vicky then had a sehra bandi on the day of the wedding, before the ceremony itself started.
It is noted that the couple have tried their best to keep the wedding a secret from the public, but news of the event had been in the news for the past few weeks, from the guest lists being leaked to the media, sightings of the couple as they arrived in Rajasthan one after another, and friends hinting about the event. However, despite the minor leaks, guests at the wedding were subjected to a strict no-phone policy, which meant that no photos can be shared on social media. The couple reportedly got engaged on Diwali at director Kabir Khan's house. Prior to that, the two stars never really confirmed rumours of their romance, though it is believed that they started dating each other at the end of 2018.
It was in the same year that Katrina appeared in an episode of "Koffee with Karan", and suggested that she would look good with Vicky Kaushal on screen when asked who she would want to collaborate with in a future project. Vicky later appeared on the same show and pretended to swoon when host Karan Johar repeated what was said by Katrina about him.
