Shilpa Shetty Reveals Her First Reaction When Raj Kundra Had Proposed Her With 'Just 5-Carat' Ring

It would be a lie if we say that we haven’t dreamt of a fairy tale proposal when our prince charming would come riding a horse, get down on his knees making ‘forever’ vows and slip down the most gorgeous ring, leaving us all teary-eyed. We have recreated that moment over a million times in our head and had gone all awww about our dreamy proposal story. Lucky are the ones, who get to live their own magical happy ending...or beginning! And Shilpa Shetty Kundra is one such lucky girl. (Also Read: Kareena Kapoor Can't Have Enough Of Punjab's Sarso Ka Saag, Makhan, Roti, Sis Karisma Kapoor Reacts)

Days before their 10th wedding anniversary, Shilpa Shetty Kundra appeared on Romedy Now's The Love Laugh Live Show, and recalled her first reaction when her then-beau, Raj Kundra had proposed her with ‘just 5-carat’ ring. Revealing how Raj had planned the proposal, Shilpa shared, "He'd booked out the whole banqueting hall at The Grand. A bit OTT... he had like these violinists playing... He conned me into it, He said we are having lunch at a friend's place so dress up well. Not casually, just dress up well and my sister told me to wear red, so it was already planned. He told me from Mumbai we are going to this really cool place. I had no clue, but he had already asked my parents. So, the setting was all there and the cloche opened, and he did propose in the last course, dessert and it was this diamond ring."

If you had gone all awww over the romantic proposal by Raj Kundra, then Shilpa Shetty’s reaction will surely make you go, ROFL. Shilpa had taken a while to say ‘yes’ because the ring, which was a 5-carat diamond, wasn't what she had imagined it to be. Shilpa laughingly narrated the incident, "It was a 5-carat diamond ring and I might sound really materialistic here, but I was like it's just 5 carats. So, I took a while to say yes because I was like 'This is not what I imagined'. No no, I was just joking... So, he was like, because I took 2 seconds more, he was like, 'The wedding ring will be bigger', that's Raj for you. So, I said yes there." (Also Read: Sakshi Tanwar Feels Daughter, Dityaa Is The Answer To All Her Prayers, Gave New Meaning To Her Life)

On February 8, 2019, a sweet melody by Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, Teri Yaad featuring Rohit Reddy and Anita Hassanandani Reddy and directed by Raj Kundra was released for the music lovers as Valentine’s gift and parts of the song were inspired by Raj and Shilpa’s love story. Sharing a collage with a picture from their real ‘proposal moment’ and its recreation still from the song, Shilpa had penned a long message for her ‘cookie’ as she reminisced about their old romantic times.
