The picture captured a visibly pregnant Katrina looking down at her baby bump with a gentle smile. Vicky, resting his head affectionately against hers, was captured cradling the bump.
The couple captioned the post, “On our way to start the best chapter of our lives with hearts full of joy and gratitude.”
Vicky and Katrina, who had dated privately for a few years, tied the knot in a grand, royal wedding ceremony in December 2021 at the Six Senses Resort, Fort Barwara, in Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan. Interestingly, despite being one of Bollywood’s most powerful couples, they have never yet starred opposite each other in a film.
