Katrina Kaif on Kids and Family
In a 2019 interview with Filmfare, Katrina had spoken about her thoughts on family, saying, “Not having a father figure does create a certain vacuum and makes any girl feel vulnerable. When I have kids, I want them to have the experience of being with both parents.”
She added, “Each time I’ve gone through something emotionally hard, I was compelled to reflect that it must be nice for those who have a strong fatherly support from a male figure who loves you unconditionally.”
The couple tied the knot in Rajasthan on December 9, 2021, in an intimate Hindu ceremony.
On the work front, Katrina was last seen in Merry Christmas (2024), while Vicky is currently busy shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming film Love & War, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.
