Vicky Kaushal recently opened up about the early days of his relationship with Katrina Kaif. The two dated for a couple of years before tying the knot in December 2021. The actor admitted that he was surprised at Katrina giving him attention but fell in love with her eventually after knowing her as a person.

Talking on the chat show 'We Are Yuvaa's Be A Man Yaar' episode, Vicky Kaushal opened up about the initial days of his relationship with Katrina. "I had trouble coming to terms with that reality that I can. Those factors were never the reason why I fell in love with Katrina. When I to know the human side of her, I fell in love with her. When I got to know her, I was fully in love with her, and I knew that I would want to have her as my life companion. Nothing else matters. First, I used to feel odd getting attention from her. I used to be like ‘Heh? Are you okay?' Not that I wasn't giving a lot of attention, it was mutual. For me also, being from the outside and not knowing her as a human being, she was a phenomenon. She still is. It's just that the human side also added."

"Shuru shuru me obviously lagta tha ‘Why me? (initially I used to question too)' but she is a lovely human being," added Vicky. The actor then praised Katrina and said, "She is very compassionate towards the people around and the environment, that for me is the biggest turn-on for me, always," he said.

The 'Masaan' actor revealed that their relationship began after he asked her out for dinner over text. But, was Vicky sure about Katrina saying yes to him for marriage? He answered, "No, the thing is in our courtship it didn't reach a stage when it was suspense, if I ask her for marriage, it might be a yes or a no. We just knew from the beginning that this is extremely serious. We are in this to look for something permanent and we had that understanding."

Further talking about what Katrina likes about him, the actor shared that she admires his values the most and how he is stubborn and protective about them. He also said that all that matters to him is to see Katrina smile.

Katrina Kaif had first mentioned that she would look good opposite Vicky Kaushal onscreen on Karaan Johar's chat show 'Koffee With Karan'. Coming back on the chat show after her wedding, Kaif admitted that Vicky was initially not on her radar. "I didn't even know much about Vicky. He was just a name I had heard, but had never associated with. But when I met him, I was won over," she shared. She went on to reveal that she first confided in director-friend Zoya Akhtar about being smitten by Kaushal. It was at the filmmaker's party that Cupid struck the two lovers. Terming their relationship "unexpected and out of the blue", Kaif further added, "It was my destiny, and it was meant to be. There were so many coincidences that at one point, all of it felt so unreal."
