Bollywood couple Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif never miss a chance to appreciate each other’s performances on screen. In a recent interaction, Vicky gushed about Katrina’s performance in Sriram Raghavan’s Merry Christmas. The mystery thriller was well-received by both fans and critics, and Vicky admitted that the role was unlike anything Katrina had done before.
Vicky spoke to Kareena Kapoor during a chat on The Hollywood Reporter India. During the interaction, he opened up about Merry Christmas and said, “The last thing I saw of her was Merry Christmas and she was fabulous in the film. She tried to explore something completely new.”

Vicky Kaushal specifically praised a dance sequence in the film, where Katrina Kaif exhibited such uninhibited abandon as an actor. “I always tell her that there is a sequence of her dancing with Vijay Sethupathi and that’s like my favourite dance sequence where she just lets herself go and that’s very unlike Katrina as an actor,” he shared.

Earlier, right after the release of Merry Christmas, Vicky had lauded Katrina in a heartfelt note, writing, “#MerryChristmas everyone! So freaking proud of you love for how beautifully you have surrendered yourself to Sriram Sir’s masterful storytelling and to the complexities of ‘Maria’… her rawness, her mystery, her magic… all done with such honesty and nuance! And that dance… uff! This one’s truly your best work till date. ❤️❤️❤️.”
On the professional front, Vicky Kaushal delivered the year’s biggest blockbuster Chhaava. He will next be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love And War, which also stars Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt in lead roles.
