Actor
Kunal
Khemu,
who
recently
and
suddenly
proposed
to
his
lady
love
Soha
Ali
Khan
in
Paris,
says
the
engagement
was
pre-planned,
but
also
something
he
did
on
impulse.
He's
glad
he
managed
to
pull
off
a
surprise.
"It
had
to
be!
I
had
to
take
friends
into
confidence
in
Paris
to
get
me
the
ring.
But
I
managed
to
keep
my
proposal
plans
completely
hidden
from
Soha," Kunal
said.
The
couple
was
on
a
month-long
European
holiday
when
the
thought
of
proposing
to
the
love
of
his
life
occurred
to
Kunal.
"We
were
on
a
26-27
day
holiday
in
Europe.
We
went
to
several
cities
including
London
and
Rome.
Paris
was
not
part
of
our
travel
plan.
I
added
Paris
to
our
holiday
destinations,
so
I
could
propose
to
her
in
the
most
romantic
city
in
the
world,"
he
added.
Soha
would
often
find
Kunal
smiling
to
himself
as
they
travelled
to
Paris.
"I
had
to
use
all
my
acting
skills
to
hide
my
Parisian
plans
from
Soha.
But
all
the
effort
was
finally
worth
it
when
I
saw
her
face
after
I
proposed
to
her,"
he
said.
After
Soha
said
'yes' to
Kunal,
she
took
to
Twitter
on
Wednesday
to
announce
the
news
to
the
world.
Talking
about
Soha's
idea
of
sharing
the
news
via
an
online
social
networking
platform,
Kunal
said,
"We
both
are
basically
very
private
people.
We
don't
like
to
put
our
lives
on
any
social
media
platform.
However,
Soha
took
to
Twitter
to
announce
our
engagement
only
so
that
she
would
be
able
to
say
exactly
how
she
wanted
to.
"This
is
a
very
special
occasion
for
both
of
us.
And
Soha
wanted
to
choose
all
the
right
words
personally."
The
announcement
has,
however,
opened
up
questions
from
family
and
friends
as
to
why
they
weren't
taken
into
confidence.
In
the
couple's
defence,
Kunal
said,
"We
didn't
plan
my
proposal.
I
decided
on
Paris
for
the
proposal
on
an
impulse.
And
I
am
glad
I
did."
Kunal
denies
any
family
pressure
to
make
the
relationship
official.
"Neither
Soha's
mother
nor
my
parents
have
ever
shown
any
anxiety
about
the
profile
of
our
relationship.
They're
happy
to
see
us
happy," he
said.
Kunal
didn't
feel
any
pressure
about
marriage
until
now.
"When
I
proposed
to
her,
I
only
did
what
seemed
natural.
Only
now
we
feel
that
we've
taken
our
relationship
to
another
level
through
the
proposal,"
he
said,
adding
that
there
is
no
immediate
marriage
plan.
"Soha
and
I
are
like
a
married
couple.
We
already
feel
married.
We
live
together
and
share
everything
like
a
normal
couple.
We
see
no
reason
to
make
our
relationship
any
more
official
than
it
already
is,"
asserted
Kunal.
"However,
this
may
change
any
time.
I
didn't
know
I
was
going
to
propose
to
Soha
until
I
actually
started
planning
it
all
of
a
sudden,
as
a
surprise
to
her.
Likewise,
we
may
surprise
ourselves
by
getting
married,
who
knows?
But
like
I
said,
there's
no
parental
pressure
to
get
married,"
said
the
actor,
whose
next
film
is
titled
Guddu
Ki
Gun.
