While there are innumerable Bollywood movies that can help you with it, nothing beats it like the real-life proposals which Bollywood actresses have received.
Full of emotions, joy, tears and overwhelming nature, these real-life proposals are all kind of goals. While some took their own sweet time, some were instant yes. However, these couples ended up getting married and it was one of the most memorable days not only for them, but also the world who was witnessing it.
So what are you waiting for? Gain some inspiration from these proposals, gather the courage and go ahead and tell your crush how do you feel about them, because you never know if they might also feel the same way about you, then you might just have a fairytale love story like one of the proposal and then wedding tales which are coming up.
Here’s reliving all the special moments from proposals for B-Town actresses in real-life:
1. Aishwarya-Abhishek
)
Nobody would’ve thought but Abhishek Bachchan is of the romantic type and did something a little unconventional. During the filming of their movie Guru in New York, while standing by the balcony of his hotel room, Abhishek, while looking at Aishwarya Rai (now Bachchan), thought, “One day, wouldn't it be nice if I was together with her, married!” Soon after, the actor got her to the same balcony and popped the question. She, obviously, said yes. The couple is now blessed with a beautiful daughter Aaradhya Bachchan.
2. SRK-Gauri
)
The power couple has quite an interesting story behind their marriage. They had started dating when both of them were just teenagers. It all started with a dance. Gauri then took a break from the relationship once she thought Shah Rukh Khan was getting too possessive about her. The now star-wife left for Mumbai without informing SRK about her whereabouts. The now-superstar looked for her frantically on the streets of Mumbai, and when they met, the couple confessed how much they missed each other. Soon after, Shah Rukh Khan mustered the strength to propose to his ladylove. He revealed on a TV show previously, "I had a Fiat back then and I was dropping her home. That is when I asked her if she will marry me and went off, I didn't even wait for her to say 'yes' or 'no.' She must have said a 'yes' only, because then we were married off." The couple now has three kids – Aryan, Suhana and AbRam. Unlike Aryan and Suhana, AbRam was born through surrogacy.
3. Akshay-Twinkle
)
Twinkle Khanna, now more popularly known as Mrs. FunnyBones, has a quite funny story when it comes to marriage proposal between her and now-husband Akshay Kumar. Akshay and Twinkle developed feelings for each other during a photoshoot (PS: The same happened with the newly-married couple Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone). Twinkle revealed on a chat show how she became serious about marriage during their period dating. She said, “While we were dating, for one of my birthdays, he gave me a crystal paperweight. I told him, “one day you’ll buy me a diamond as big as this bloody paperweight”. So, I made sure.” They however had a bet when it came to marriage. Twinkle would’ve gotten married to Akshay only if her upcoming release Mela was to be declared a flop. Fortunately for Akshay, Mela did turn out to be a flop. Akshay revealed, “Twinkle was very confident of her upcoming release, Mela, in 2000. She was certain that it would do well and told me that in case the movie fails to create magic at the box office, she would marry me.” It wasn’t hard to guess that the two took the plunge soon after. The couple is blessed with a son and a daughter – Aarav and Nitara – respectively.
4. Saifeena
)
Kareena Kapoor Khan, who had just come out of her much-publicized relationship with Shahid Kapoor (who is now married to Mira Rajput), was probably not ready to get married to her current love Saif Ali Khan just yet. Maybe that is why she rejected Saif’s proposal not once but twice. She revealed on a chat show, "He actually proposed to me a couple of months after we met, in Paris. In fact, his father (late cricketer Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi) had also proposed to Sharmila Tagore in Paris when she was shooting for the movie An Evening in Paris. I think it was at the bar of Ritz Hotel that he proposed, and I said no. During the same trip, he asked again when we were at the Notre Dame Church. I was just like 'Let's not talk about it'. Because I was into my career and I asked him for some time to think about my decision. And well, two days later I said yes." Aren’t we glad that she took that decision? Because she has given birth to the most adorable kid in B-Town – Taimur Ali Khan! Saif already had a son and daughter – Ibrahim and Sara Ali Khan – through his previous marriage with Amrita Singh. Sara recently made her debut in Bollywood and appeared in the movies Kedarnath with Sushant Singh Rajput and Simmba with Ranveer Singh.
5. Nickyanka
)
One of the most recent and cutest proposals came from Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra. Nick went grand for our global icon Priyanka Chopra. He shut down a Tiffany & Co store in London so that he could pick out the perfect ring for his ladylove. This happened during her birthday celebrations, when Nick waited until midnight to propose, so that their engagement anniversary would not clash with her birthday celebrations. He told a portal, "I got down on one knee, again, and I said: 'Will you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?' No joke — she took about 45 seconds. 45 seconds of silence," adding, "I’m going to put this ring on your finger now unless you have any objections." Nick then flew down to India, where they had a roka ceremony, followed by marriage in December last year. The celebrations – wedding receptions – continued till the beginning of 2019.
6. Sonam-Anand
)
Sonam Kapoor got married to Anand Ahuja in an adorable wedding last year. That was followed by a grand wedding reception ceremony which was graced by Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Ranveer Singh, Arjun Kapoor, Varun Dhawan and the who’s who of B-Town. Sonam and Anand, who are #EverydayPhenomenal, were in a long-distance relationship, made their outings frequent before marriage. In fact, Sonam also shared a cute post of his proposal, where he went down on his knees without a ring. Here’s her Instagram story from the proposal:
7. Soha-Kunal
)
Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu were in a live-in relationship for the longest time before they decided to tie the knot. Kunal ensured that the proposal was perfect, and Soha loved it so much she tweeted about the same. She wrote, "It gives me great happiness to share with you all that Kunal proposed to me in Paris with the most perfect ring in the world and I said yes." The couple then had a bachelorette followed by a beautiful wedding.
8. Karan-Bipasha
)
The couple who introduced us to the term monkey love, were not supposed to tie the knot. Bipasha Basu, who was in a long-term relationship with actor John Abraham (who got married to Priya Runchal long before Bipasha's wedding), called it off and was extremely disappointed with relationships. Luckily for her, she found a partner who was equally heartbroken. The Alone stars found solace in each other. Karan Singh Grover had revealed about his proposal. He said, "We were in Koh Samui, it was 31 December and the sky was lit with fireworks. I was carrying the ring with me and something told me that this is the right time. So while she was capturing the fireworks on video, I took the opportunity and gave her the ring. And guess what? Her expression was like that of someone who was going to be murdered, like in some of her films.” He further added, “Just imagine... I am on my knees for 10 minutes and between sobs, she tells me, "What's wrong with you, why do you want to marry me? I am not supposed to get married!" Finally, she said "Okay". To me it sounded like a yes, so I said I will take that." The couple got married in 2016 and are still monkey love. Bipasha was also rumoured to be pregnant on more occasions than one.
