Bollywood actor Vicky Kaushal became embroiled in an online controversy, as social media users found his anniversary post misogynistic. He shared a picture on his social media handle, with Katrina Kaif, stating, “Celebrating today… blissful, grateful and sleep deprived. Happy 4 to us.”

The netizens considered his remarks, which he directed towards his wife, to be described as “misogynistic” and “outdated” The public considered his jokes to establish damaging public stereotypes regarding marriage, while some users compared his comments to the husband-wife trope, which modern discussions about relationships are currently working to eliminate.

The public sees Kaushal as a positive partner, while his followers currently describe him as a green flag, meaning they view him as a partner who supports them and makes them happy. The social media users showed that Indian entertainment used to include such jokes as common practice, which now appears outdated because social views about gender roles and marriage have evolved.

The public responded with backlash after Kaushal shared his anniversary post for December 2025, which people viewed as an attractive demonstration of love. The remark showed affection for others, creating a strong contrast with the ongoing public disorder.

The couple faced negative media attention because their son, Vihaan Kaushal, was born in early 2026. The couple received joyful news that brought happiness amid their ongoing dispute.
