Different worlds, one love: All you need to know about Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif’s age gap, childhood and upbringing |
They may come from vastly different worlds, but their love story is one for the ages. Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif, one of Bollywood’s most beloved couples, continue to charm fans with their chemistry and quiet strength as a duo. While their romantic journey is admired widely, not many know about the stark contrasts in their upbringing—or the five-year age gap between them.

His father, Sham Kaushal, worked as a stuntman before becoming a well-known action director, while his mother, Veena Kaushal, is a homemaker. Despite the humble beginnings, Vicky’s journey to stardom reflects grit and determination—marking a sharp contrast to Katrina’s globe-trotting early years.
