As Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal’s wedding celebrations begin today, there is still a sense of disbelief about how things moved so quickly between them. Kat was in a live-in relationship with Ranbir Kapoor and was linked with Salman Khan for years. But with Kaushal, it did not take much time to walk down the aisle. The first hint that things were serious between them was when they rang in 2021 in Alibaug together. The lovebirds preferred to not go public about their relationship and avoided making joint appearances, and even when they did — during a special screening of Shershaah in August — they made sure they were not photographed together. It all began in December 2018 when Kaushal appeared on Koffee With Karan. Host Karan Johar told him that Kat was keen to work with him as they would look good together. A flattered Kaushal played along when he and Kat appeared on the digital chat show, Tape Cast. At an awards gala in 2019, Kaushal proposed to Kaif jokingly. Later, Kapil Sharma teased him about Kat on his show. Sparks flew and love blossomed soon after.
