Vicky Kaushal has found himself at the centre of a fresh social media storm on March 17, 2026, after a clip from a wedding event surfaced online showing the actor cracking what many viewers described as outdated “wife jokes”. The video, circulating widely across platforms, has triggered a sharp backlash, with a section of fans calling the humour disrespectful and out of step with the times.
Kaushal, who is often celebrated online for his easy charm and his public affection for wife Katrina Kaif, has not responded to the criticism so far. The clip’s spread, however, has been swift, with reactions pouring in within hours of it appearing on Reddit and then being reposted elsewhere.
Latest Update: What Vicky Said In The Viral Clip
In the circulating snippet, Vicky is seen addressing the groom’s father on stage and prompting him to get the groom to say his popular dialogue, “How’s the josh?” As the crowd answers “High, sir!”, Vicky follows it up with a line that drew immediate heat online.

“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,” he says in Hindi, suggesting that a bachelor’s enthusiasm stays high while married men’s “josh” drops over the years, though not within just four days.
The remark set off a debate on the thread where the clip was first widely noticed. 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 comment read, “I don’t like it when men make fun of their marriage in public. It indirectly insults their wife, and it’s not funny.”
Several others echoed similar disappointment, with one person adding, “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.”
