In the midst of rumours of Riya Sen tied the knot in secret with her boyfriend Shivam Tiwari, reports suggest that actor Ashmit Patel her ex has also popped the question to Mahek Chahal. Ashmit said he popped the question while their recent trip to Europe.
In an interview, Ashmit said he proposed to Mahek while on their recent trip to Europe. “I never told Mahek that I was carrying a ring with me. We were supposed to meet her family in Norway and I wanted to propose to her in Paris, the city of love, but it did not happen that way. We were at a cosy restaurant in Marbella (Spain), which had a fantastic view, and I decided to propose,” he said.
Ashmit even gave us all the details of how he asked her the question. “Mahek has a habit of having dessert after dinner, and I had decided to propose then. However, on that night, she did not ask for any dessert. So, I excused myself and asked the waiters to get some strawberries dipped in chocolate. I then placed the ring on the plate with strawberries, under a bowl which was placed upside down,” he said.
Mahek found the confusion hilarious: “I was so surprised, that I laughed out loud. Since we were not sure which finger — right or left — the ring should be worn on, we paused for a while. He then went down on his knees and the entire restaurant cheered for us. It was a very romantic proposal,” she said.
The couple is most likely to tie to the knot in the next six months. The two started dating a couple of years ago and also participated in the reality show Power Couple.
Riya his ex and Ashmit began dating after working together in the movie Silsilay (2005). After a private video of the two was leaked somehow, they decided to call it quits with their relationship.
