Vicky Kaushal admits Katrina Kaif made him more mature after marriage

Vicky admitted that one can never be the same person after marriage, as starting a life with someone is a huge addition. He revealed that he has matured far more in the last two and a half years than he did in the first 33 years of his life. The actor shared that Katrina has made him more patient and helped him see things differently.

He revealed that he and Katrina often have discussions over the silliest things — from what food to order online to where to go on holiday — as well as more serious matters, and that they eventually arrive at a decision that suits both of them. He admitted that he is the more stubborn one, while Katrina is more emotional.

Vicky Kaushal on how it feels to be in love with Katrina Kaif

When further asked what being in love with Katrina Kaif feels like, Vicky explained beautifully, “Imagine it’s your day off. It’s raining outside. A beautiful calm has taken over and there’s nothing, absolutely nothing that is making you fear a future or regret the past. You’re just present. You feel absolutely content. When I’m with her, that’s what happens. I don’t feel like rushing anywhere. It’s simply the best feeling.”

He added, “I used to think the day I met the person who I could sit silently with for hours and not feel the silence, that was going to be my person. With Katrina, it’s that feeling. She’s home. From our initial days of dating, when there was heady excitement every time we met, to now, two and a half years after marriage, that feeling hasn’t changed. And I’m somebody who hasn’t ever been overtly romantic. But she makes me one. The feeling of being loved, being taken care of, and in return, caring and loving someone deeply — I just love that aspect of love. Emotionally, rationally, when I’m with her, I feel, ye sahi hai (this is right).”
