‘Subah wala discussion hai na, usse mujhe thoda bachna padhta hai’: Vicky Kaushal reveals reason he dodges morning conversations with wife Katrina Kaif | Feelings News
Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif may be a power couple to the world, but to each other, they are no different from regular people. Like every relationship, theirs too isn’t without a fair share of fights. During promotions of his film Zara Hatke Zara Bachke, Vicky opened up about navigating conflicts with Katrina early in the morning.
While she is a morning person, Vicky is not, and reveals that it takes him a while to wake up and start functioning properly. He needs his coffee and breakfast before getting on to daily tasks. Hence, tackling important and heavy conversations early in the morning is one of the least favourite things he looks forward to.
“Uthti hain seedha energy, har discussion unko uthte hi subah subah karni hai, ki ye jo tha, woh jo tha. Aur mujhe process nahi hota hai. Main jab subah uthta hoon mujhe do ghante lagte hai uthne mein. Uthke pehle aaram se coffee, nashta chahiye. Subah wala discussion hai na, usse mujhe thoda bachna padhta hai,” he told News Tak in 2023. (Katrina wakes up with a lot of energy, and wants to discuss everything as soon as she wakes up in the morning. And I can’t process that. So sometimes I try to get out of that discussion in the morning. I need at least 2-3 cups of coffee, and after that I can get involved in the discussion.)

Partners can have different personalities, and it can be challenging to navigate a relationship with someone whose traits are the opposite. Rima Bhandekar, Senior Psycholog, Helpline- Mpower, Aditya Birla Education Trust, said that while connecting with your partner in such cases, the focus must be on building a ‘we’ mindset rather than an ‘I’ mindset – aka prioritising shared experiences, goals, and needs over your individual wants and desires.
“ cultivating a ‘we’ mindset, you can foster a stronger sense of unity and partnership in your relationship. This can be achieved actively seeking out activities and goals that you both enjoy and working together to achieve them,” she said.
Bhandekar also shared some quick tips for partners to nail conflict resolution:
1. Start with awareness
Long-lasting partnerships aren’t about the total absence of conflict, but the ability to restore the gap afterwards. Make opportunities for tiny shared moments, such as a shared laugh, a gentle apology, or even a kind act like making tea after an argument.Story continues below this ad
2. Read the difference correctly
The words and actions of partners after an argument can also be a mismatch. Explain the meaning behind your actions such as “quiet time” means “process time”, and not “closing off” can help the partner align better with each other’s intentions.
3. Work on mindful responses
People have a natural way of reacting to things that can become intense in times of stress. For example, the organised person may become more controlling.
According to Bhandekar, partners should prioritise understanding rather than blaming each other, knowing these reactions come from personality differences, not necessarily from a lack of love or positive intentions. “Conflict resolution for couples having different personalities can be learnt, turning differences into understanding of each other at a deep level, and conflict into opportunities for connection,” she concluded.
