Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif recently welcomed their baby boy after four years of marriage. The couple never opened up about their relationship before tying the knot but since the wedding, they have been completely candid about their relationship. In a new interview, Vicky recalled the time when he first met Katrina, and was introduced to her by actor Sunil Grover.

In a recent interaction on Too Much With Twinkle and Kajol, Vicky recalled that they first met at an awards show. He shared, “The first time I met her was at an award show which I was hosting, and she was a guest there. I performed ‘Chikni Chameli’ with her on stage, and in fact, I met her first on this stage only, and then we went backstage with Sunil Grover. This was the time when Sunil Grover and Katrina had worked together in Bharat and they were friends with each other.”

Recalling how Sunil Grover introduced him to Katrina, he said, “So three of us are standing together, and I was there, and he (Sunil Grover) introduced me to her. During the first five minutes of meeting Katrina, she taught me how to host the show and what was left of the show was that I just had to go on the stage and say ‘good night to everyone.’ I had hosted the entire show by then; it was all done.”

He added, “First time I said ‘Hi, Katrina’ and she said ‘Hi, Vicky’ and she started telling me that you should not care about the audience… I have gotten a full-blown tutorial about how to host an award show which I had already finished.”

Recalling how he met Katrina again at SCREEN award show and unintentionally proposed to her in front of a live audience, he said, “During the second award show, I had asked Katrina, ‘Why don’t you get married to a nice guy like Vicky?’ We weren’t dating at that time.” Explaining why he said that to Katrina, he shared, “The truth is that that was a gag on stage in that show and that no matter which heroine shows up, I had to ask this question to them. So during that night of the show, I didn’t just ask Katrina, I had asked many actresses that same question, but it was just the clip of me and Katrina that went viral.”
