Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif may not have shared screen space, but their off-screen bond has made them one of Bollywood’s most loved couples. The pair managed to keep their relationship under wraps for a long time — until one unexpected evening changed that.
Celebrity photographer Manav Manglani recently opened up about the very first time the couple was seen together in public, marking a significant moment in their journey. Speaking in a chat with Vishal Malhotra, Manav recalled how his team captured the now-iconic moment during a star-studded Diwali celebration hosted by producer Amritpal Singh Bindra.
Sharing the details, he said, “My team took the first picture of Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif together, getting out of Amritpal Singh’s Diwali party. She was wearing a red dress, while he was in a beige kurta-pyjama. As they were trying to figure out where their cars were, my team spotted them. It was only after they saw the cameras that they realised they had already been snapped; and that’s when it hit them, they had been seen together publicly for the first time. That photo went viral, and how.”
At the time, there had been speculation about the two being more than just friends. Still, the couple had made no official appearances together. That one moment — as casual and unplanned as it was — became the first visual confirmation of their relationship for fans and the media alike.
The photo, according to Manav, became an instant internet sensation and went viral, fuelling the romance rumours that would eventually be confirmed when the couple tied the knot in a private ceremony.
Vicky Kaushal-Katrina Kaif Wedding
Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal’s wedding, held in December 2021, was a spectacular blend of tradition, elegance, and privacy. The couple tied the knot at the majestic Six Senses Fort Barwara in Rajasthan, a 14th-century fort-turned-luxury resort that served as the perfect royal backdrop. Katrina wore a stunning red Sabyasachi lehenga, while Vicky complemented her in an ivory silk sherwani. Their pre-wedding festivities included a Mehendi ceremony and a grand Sangeet. The couple began their celebrations with a small ceremony in Mumbai before hosting close friends and family in Rajasthan.
