Overview
- Ranbir Kapoor recounted the proposal on Thursday during a Kaun Banega Crorepati Diwali special and said he got down on one knee while three lions watched from roughly 100 feet away.
- He said he had tipped the safari guide and driver in advance, planned the stop in the jungle and asked them to photograph the moment because Alia Bhatt liked posting pictures on Instagram.
- Ranbir described bringing the ring from home and joked that he felt like a 'mouse' in front of his 'lioness,' a line that drew laughter and praise from host Amitabh Bachchan.
- Multiple mainstream outlets have republished the anecdote as light promotional copy for Ramayana rather than as investigative reporting, and no dispute or controversy has been reported.
- The moment ties into the couple’s public timeline—they were engaged in Kenya, married on April 14, 2022, and welcomed daughter Raha in November 2022—and further fuels media interest in Ranbir’s film publicity tour.
