"My mother is happy whenever Katrina is home"
Vicky Kaushal divulged into the relationship between his parents and Katrina Kaif.
The actor said that for his family, his wife Katrina is the daughter they had missed having.
Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal are one of Bollywood’s most revered couples.
Since tying the knot in 2021, the pair have been admired for their chemistry and love despite hailing from contrasting backgrounds.
Katrina is from a British family while Vicky’s roots are melded within a Punjabi dynasty.
Explaining his wife’s bond with his parents, Vicky said:
“Katrina comes from a completely different geography. But if you meet her family, you will see that her core life principles are similar to mine.
“In terms of family, ours is a middle-class upbringing [where you value] what you have and how you have earned it.
“When we have family get-togethers, the difference is only linguistic. Actually, I was taken by surprise when I got to interact with her.
“It is not what it seems from afar. I was a fanboy and admired her for a long time.
“Even if she was an astronaut, I would have fallen in love with her.
“When it comes to the profession, she is far more experienced than me. And also, she has lived a life that is more independent.
“I have had a more protected life. She has come up the hard way.
“Even when language was not by her side, she struggled her way through and really made that spot her own, which is amazing.”
Vicky added that Katrina Kaif brought his parents – Sham and Veena – endless joy and that they had “always missed having a daughter”.
Sham Kaushal added: “She tries speaking in Punjabi and understands it perfectly.
“There are so many vegetables we eat now because she loves them so much.
“Now, when people ask me how they should introduce me, I tell them, ‘Not as an action director, but as the father of Vicky and Sunny, and the father-in-law of Katrina Kaif’.”
Vicky chimed that his wife practices vegetarianism with more commitment than him.
He expressed: “She is way more vegetarian than I am. She enjoys simple food.
“Very rarely will she go for chhole bhature, but I would dive into that.”
“My mother is happy whenever Katrina is home because, as she says, ‘All my life I have been trying to get these boys to eat apple gourd, beans, and ridge gourd and now I have a daughter-in-law who eats these every day’.
“This is her staple food. She loves pancakes. We are just a regular couple with a profession that has put us in the public glare.”
With so much togetherness and appreciation within their family and marriage, it is no surprise that Vicky and Katrina are such a celebrated couple.
On the work front, Katrina Kaif was last seen in Merry Christmas (2024).
