Bollywood star Vicky Kaushal has always been vocal about his admiration for his wife Katrina Kaif — not just as a partner, but also as a powerhouse performer. Recently, in a candid chat during a promotional event, the Sam Bahadur actor revealed his favorite moment from Katrina’s psychological thriller Merry Christmas, and his words are winning hearts all over again.
Vicky, known for his subtle expressions and intensity on-screen, turned into the ultimate fanboy while speaking about Katrina’s performance. “I’ve watched Merry Christmas more than once,” he began with a smile. “But there’s this one particular sequence that completely took my breath away. It comes at a very crucial turning point in the film — and without giving too much away — it’s a scene where Katrina’s character reveals a layer of emotional complexity that hits you like a storm.”
Describing the scene in detail (without spoiling the plot), Vicky said, “There’s no heavy dialogue, no dramatic music — just pure, raw performance. It’s the silence, the stillness, and that one look she gives that gave me goosebumps. It’s in moments like those that you realize how powerful an actor she truly is.”
Directed by Sriram Raghavan, Merry Christmas is a neo-noir thriller that paired Katrina Kaif with Tamil star Vijay Sethupathi for the first time. The film explores themes of love, loss, deception, and psychological trauma, woven through an intriguing narrative. Katrina plays a complex character, one who slowly unravels as the story progresses, and her performance was widely praised by critics and audiences alike.
Vicky added, “I’ve always been proud of her work, but in Merry Christmas, I saw a different side of her — a side that was deeply layered, haunting even. It was like watching a different Katrina. She completely surrendered to the character.”
He went on to speak about how they often share feedback on each other’s performances. “We’re both actors, so naturally we discuss scripts, scenes, and characters. But when I watched Merry Christmas, I wasn’t thinking as a husband. I was watching her purely as an audience member, and I was just… mesmerized.”
Their real-life romance, which culminated in a dreamy wedding in December 2021, has always been admired by fans for its groundedness and mutual respect. This moment of appreciation from Vicky is yet another reflection of the quiet support they offer one another.
Fans quickly took to social media to express how sweet and genuine Vicky’s words felt. Hashtags like #Vickat, #MerryChristmasMovie, and #KatrinaKaif trended online as users shared snippets from the interview and expressed excitement over seeing more collaborations — or even a future film starring the power couple.
On the work front, while Katrina is reportedly taking time to choose her next big project post-Merry Christmas, Vicky Kaushal is busy promoting his upcoming releases and wrapping up shooting schedules. But despite their busy calendars, it’s moments like these — where one celebrates the other — that give fans a glimpse into the deep bond they share.
As for that now-famous scene from Merry Christmas? Vicky left the audience intrigued: “If you haven’t watched it yet, watch it for the story — but also watch it for that moment. You’ll know exactly which one I’m talking about.”
