Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal has landed in controversy after a video of him making ‘wife jokes’ at a wedding went viral on social media, drawing sharp criticism from fans. The actor, who is married to Katrina Kaif, was seen engaging with guests in a light-hearted moment that didn’t sit well with many online users.

In the clip, Vicky joked about how ‘bachelors always have high energy’ while the enthusiasm of married men ‘keeps decreasing year after year.’

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.”

The video quickly made its way to platforms like Reddit, where users called out the actor for promoting stereotypical and misogynistic humour. 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.”

One comment read, “I liked him generally, but I don’t like this version of him. Kind of sad to hear this.” Another wrote, “Ew, so disgusted with him right now. Guess it’s time to stop believing he’s a good husband after all.” A user also remarked, “Vicky is on his way to becoming a red flag lately, so annoying.”

One wrote comparing with Ranbir, “gReEn fLAg”. Though I don’t like Ranbir’s antics if he had said this, people would have bombarded him over it.”

Vicky and Katrina’s flirtation at an awards function, in which the actor asked Katrina, “Mujhse shaadi karogi?”, became the spark that ignited their love story. The couple had a brief romance and kept their relationship low-key until they went public with their marriage.
