Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal got married in an intimate but lavish ceremony in Rajasthan last year, and only their family and friends were present there. The couple even recently celebrated their first wedding anniversary.
Nonetheless, the two often shower praises on each other, be it for their personal lives or their professional achievements. Now adding to it, Vicky recently compared his wife Katrina Kaif to industry stalwarts such as Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini. He said so because she is now recognised as the global face of the Indian film industry.
In an interview with Navbharat Times, Vicky was asked about his reaction to Katrina’s recent comment about not wanting to work with him, because she fears being outclassed by his talent. Vicky then said that Katrina said this out of love, and and she is a star in her own right.
He said, “I’ve always said that an industry is known by a few faces and Katrina has reached a stage where she is known globally. Like Mr Bachchan, there are only a few such names. Once upon a time there used to be Hema Malini.”
Vicky added, “Katrina has achieved that position, and it is not at all easy to achieve this position. I believe that whatever he has done, she has done it completely on her own. I look up to her for what she has achieved and I have a long way to go before I reach that level. I think it is also good that we both learn and share a lot from each other.”
Coming to Vicky’s career, he himself started out as an assistant director, and made his lead acting debut with ‘Masaan’. He went onto star in mainstream films like ‘Sanju’, ‘Uri: The Surgical Strike’, and most recently, ‘Govinda Naam Mera’. Katrina, on the other hand, was last seen in the horror comedy ‘Phone Bhoot’.
