Shilpa Shetty found the eternal love in Raj Kundra and got married to him in 2009. A throwback video is being shared online which features Shilpa saying that she was unimpressed with the 5-carat diamond Raj proposed with. She talked about the proposal that happened in Paris and Raj promised a bigger ring for wedding. She also admitted that due to the small ring, it took a while for her to say yes. The video is from Shibani Dandekar’s The Love Laugh Live Show. Shilpa is heard talking about how she was surprised with the proposal.
Shilpa Shetty was Unimpressed with 5-Carat Diamond Ring During Dream Proposal:
She said, “I was in Paris for the Karl Lagerfeld show. Raj flew down and proposed to me. He had booked out the whole banqueting hall at the Grand. A bit OTT. He had these violinists playing. He conned me into it. He told me, ‘We’re having lunch at a friend’s place, so just dress up well.’ My sister told me to wear red, so it was already planned. He had told me from Mumbai that we will be going to this really cool place but I had no clue. He had already asked my parents.”
Raj had planned a fancy meal for Shilpa and proposed with a diamond ring during the last course, i.e. dessert. Shilpa added, “It was a five-carat diamond ring and I might sound really materialistic but I was like, ‘It’s just five carats.’ I took a while to say yes because I was like, ‘This is not what I imagined.’ No, no, I am just joking. Because I took two seconds more, he was like, ‘The wedding ring will be bigger.’ So I said yes there and then. He knew that I have always wanted to go to the Eiffel Tower. I have shot in Paris, I have shot beneath the Eiffel Tower, but I had decided that I would go up only with the man I end up with.”
