"I never told Maheck 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 cozy restaurant in Marbella (Spain), which had a fantastic view, and I decided to propose, " he said.

Ashmit asked the waiters to get Maheck a dessert of some strawberries dipped in chocolate and keep the ring on the same plate with the strawberries.
"Maheck 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," he said.
"He went down on his knees and the entire restaurant cheered for us. It was a very romantic proposal," says an excited Maheck.
"We are meeting my parents today and will finalise a date soon. Hopefully, we should be married in six months. I want a destination wedding abroad, while Maheck prefers to get hitched in India."
We wish the couple all the very best and can't wait to see their wedding pics soon!
