“I had already told my guide, who was also our driver, to stop somewhere in the middle of the jungle. I had brought a ring with me, as I planned to get down on one knee, while you took photographs from a distance. Because girls love taking photographs and posting them on Instagram.” Big B reacted to the story with a playful remark, saying, “Proof to hona chahiye (there should be a proof).”
Ranbir then recalled proposing to her while Lions stood at a distance, watching them, and shared his experience of the special moment. “Teen babbar sher is taraf the, kuch 100 meter par, aur meri sherni mere aage khadi thi aur main chuha ban kar apne ghutnon par khada tha ki (There were three big lions on one side, about 100 metres away, and my lioness was standing in front of me.
Meanwhile, I had turned into a mouse, down on one knee, saying), ‘Baby, Will you marry me?’ It was a very, very wonderful moment of my life that I will always remember.” Big B then said, “Well done,” praising Ranbir’s efforts. The episode is set to air on October 30 on SonyLIV and SonyTV.
