Bollywood actors Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif are among the most loved couples in the industry. However, a recent video of Vicky making wife jokes at a wedding has surfaced online, drawing criticism from many on the internet.
The clip shows Vicky speaking to the groom's father and asking him to get the groom to say, 'How's the josh?' As the audience responded with 'High, sir!', Vicky quipped, 'Maine yeh dekha hai ki bachelors ka josh hamesha high rehta hai. Hum shaadi-shuda waalon ka josh saal dar saal girta rehta hai. Par tension lene ki baat nahi hai, 4 din mein josh kam nahi hota.' (I've noticed that bachelors always have high energy and enthusiasm. For those of us who are married, that enthusiasm keeps dropping year after year. But don't worry, it doesn't fade in just four days.)
The clip surfaced on Reddit, with many users criticising Vicky for making 'wife jokes'. One user wrote, 'We're seriously STILL making misogynistic 'marriage' jokes in 2026? Should've left these on Comedy Nights with Kapil in 2016.' Another commented, 'I don't like it when men make fun of their marriage in public. It indirectly insults their wife, and it's not funny. When people say 'take it as a joke', no, it isn't funny. It reflects problems beneath the surface.'
Another user expressed disappointment, writing, 'I understand he's performing for an audience and all, but this still doesn't make it okay. It's kind of cringe, if you ask me. Today's generation is trying hard to move away from these misogynistic jokes and stereotypes. Didn't expect this from Vicky of all people.'

The two dated briefly while keeping their relationship private, only going public after their wedding.
