Mumbai: A viral picture of Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif posing with a fan in London has sparked online chatter, with the actor facing trolling over his changed appearance.
However, the reactions have also triggered a debate on social media, with some users questioning the apparent double standards in how the couple is judged for their looks, particularly after Katrina recently faced body-shaming comments.
Vicky was seen sporting a thick beard, glasses and a cap, making him look noticeably different from his usual appearance.
His new look has also fuelled speculation online, with some fans wondering whether it is linked to his upcoming project, ‘Mahavatar’.
The picture comes days after Katrina faced body-shaming remarks following her appearance at a recent event.
The contrasting reactions to the couple’s appearances have since prompted some Reddit users to question why women often face greater scrutiny over their looks.
The picture was shared by a fan page on X and shows Vicky and Katrina posing alongside a fan on a London street.
Vicky’s appearance drew mixed reactions on Reddit.
One user quipped, “Did Vicky forget to pack his shaving kit or what,” while another compared his look to that of filmmaker Shoojit Sircar.
Several others also criticised the actor’s changed appearance.
However, some users shifted the conversation towards the perceived double standards in online scrutiny.
One user remarked, “No one will troll Vicky for his looks now tho. Only reserved for his wife,” while another pointed out that new mothers are often pressured to maintain a slim figure, whereas men rarely face the same expectations.
