The relationship fizzled out by 2010. Unlike her later relationships, Katrina has rarely spoken ill of this period, often crediting Salman for giving her a roof over her head when she had nothing. She famously told a magazine, "He gave me an industry, a home, and a life."

In 2018, Katrina started dating actor Vicky Kaushal, known for his roles in "Uri: The Surgical Strike" and "Masaan." The two met on the sets of "Ultraviolette City," a web series that was eventually shelved. They reportedly started dating in 2019 and got engaged in February 2021. katrina kaif sex
