Their first public appearance together came after a Diwali party, sparking widespread speculation about their relationship. Despite the buzz, the couple chose to stay silent and later surprised fans by tying the knot in an intimate ceremony.

He shared that the moment was entirely unplanned. There were already rumors about them being close friends or even more than that but hadn't been seen together. However, Manav shared that his team first clicked Vicky-Katrina's first photo together as they were coming out from the bash. He talked about their outfits as the actress stunned in a red lehenga while Vicky looked dapper in beige kurta-pajama. He recalled that as the duo were trying to locate their cars, his team happened to spot them. It was only when they noticed the cameras that they realized they'd been captured together for the first time in public. 'That's when it hit them, they had been seen together publicly for the first time. That photo went viral, and how,' the paprazzo shared. Earlier, while talking to Karan Johar on his famous chat show Koffee With Karan, Katrina Kaif opened up on falling in love with Vicky Kaushal and shared that she didn't had much idea about him before they met. She added he was 'just a name' she had heard but she was impressed after meeting him. The Merry Christmas actress expressed that it felt like destiny, describing the experience as something truly meant to be. She mentioned that a series of coincidences made it all feel almost unreal at one point. Katrina also revealed that the first person she opened up to about her feelings for the Love & War actor was filmmaker Zoya Akhtar.

Radhika Apte Says Film Industry Isn't Supportive Of New Mothers: 'It's Really Difficult To...'
Last Updated: Radhika Apte says the film industry isn't conducive to the needs of new mothers, calling it 'really difficult' to balance long shoots with motherhood. Radhika Apte may have returned to work just a week after giving birth, but she's the first to admit that the Indian film industry isn't built to support women like her. Speaking from London while caring for her six-month-old daughter, Apte offered a candid perspective on the challenges new mothers face in showbiz. 'I don't think they are," she said when asked if the film industry is conducive to the needs of new moms. 'I don't know how I'm going to navigate that going ahead." Her comments come at a time when conversations around maternity in the entertainment business are gaining traction. Just this week, Deepika Padukone was reported to have exited Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Spirit, allegedly due to requests for shorter, more manageable work hours post-pregnancy. Meanwhile, actor-producer Ajay Devgn claimed at a trailer launch that eight-hour workdays were becoming the norm for 'people at large," not just mothers. But Radhika isn't so sure. 'It's really difficult to work in our film industry, given the number of hours and how we film generally, and the time for which we don't get to see the child," she explained. 'So I guess I'll just have to figure it out now." This struggle isn't just theoretical for her. Radhika worked through her pregnancy, turning in a writing draft the day before she went into labour, and was back on Zoom calls for virtual meetings within a week of delivery—one of which she attended while breastfeeding, a moment she captured in a photo shared last December. On the work front, Radhika Apte's latest film Sister Midnight is set to hit Indian theatres on May 30. The film, which originally premiered at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival, features Radhika as Uma, a bold, rebellious woman challenging societal norms, particularly those around arranged marriage. The cast also includes Ashok Pathak, Chhaya Kadam, Smita Tambe, and Navya Sawant. Sister Midnight was released in the US on May 16 and is slated for a French release on June 11. Radhika was last seen in a cameo in Merry Christmas, starring Katrina Kaif and Vijay Sethupathi. First Published:

Just as much as they captivated the public individually with their acting talents and charismatic personas, Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal have managed to do the same as a couple, stealing millions of hearts. An unlikely pair who fell in love without ever working together on a film, the duo has been one of Bollywood's most beloved power couples ever since they made their relationship official. Recently, renowned paparazzo Manav Manglani took a trip down memory lane and recalled capturing the couple together for the first time after they began dating. He shared that the moment occurred at producer Amritpal Singh Bindra's Diwali bash, emphasising that the moment was entirely unscripted. Manav mentioned that it was only after his team snapped a few photos that Katrina and Vicky realised they had been 'officially spotted' together for the first time. While rumours were already swirling that the two were close friends, with some even speculating there was more to their relationship, they hadn't made any public appearances together until then. A post shared by Manav Manglani (@ A post shared by Manav Manglani (@ 'My team took the first picture of Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif together, getting out of Amritpal Singh's Diwali party. She was wearing a red dress, while he was in a beige kurta-pyjama. As they were trying to figure out where their cars were, my team spotted them.

Speaking about their bond, Vicky shared that neither of them can sleep if a fight or argument is left unresolved. 'We both can't sleep if we have had a fight or argument. She wants to engage. That's naturally her style, and mine is completely opposite, which is why I feel we beautifully fill each other's gaps. I am the most rational guy and she is the most sensitive person. Her emotional intelligence is amazing. Wo bahot khatarnak hai and I always trust on that aur mera bahot katttar practical, rational dimag hai,' he said in an interview with Raj Shamani. While Katrina Kaif was last spotted in director Sriram Raghavan's Merry Christmas (2024), wherein she appeared alongside Vijay Sethupathi, Vicky Kaushal's most recent film was Laxman Utekar's Chhaava (2025), in which he shared the screen with Akshaye Khanna and Rashmika Mandanna.
