Because love deserves a little drama, a dash of Bollywood, and a whole lot of magic.
A proposal is not just a random, fleeting moment in your life. This is the moment she’s been waiting for since forever – and you better it a memorable one!
Whether you’re the suave hero straight out of a Bollywood movie or the chilled-out Gen Z groom who swears by street style and reels, here are 10 fabulous ways to sweep her off her feet.
The Filmy Proposal
There’s no better proposal than a filmy proposal because Shahrukh Khan lives in the heart of every woman.
Channel your inner SRK with a proposal straight out of a Bollywood movie.
Invite your friends and family to a public place like a mall, park, or beach. Have them break into a choreographed dance to her favorite Bollywood songs.
When the beat drops, join the dance, and at the end, walk to her and propose in front of everyone.
Don’t forget to hire a videographer to capture all these special moments.
Treasure Hunt with a Twist
A little scavenger hunt can take you a long way. Plan a treasure hunt for bae, here’s how:
- Decide what feeling you want the proposal to have – romantic and intimate, adventurous and fun, glamorous and dramatic or whimsical and magical.
- Choose the route, most preferably pick locations that are meaningful to your relationship. For example, the place that you first met or where you had your first date.
- Craft heartfelt cues such as rhymes and riddles or inside jokes.
- Make it interactive by adding little tasks at each stop such as taking a selfie or popping a balloon for the next cue.
- Involve friends and family as secret helpers
- Make the finale the grand set scene such as a rooftop with fairy lights and candles.
Recreate Your First Date
Take her back to where it all began.
Revisit the café, restaurant, or park where you first met or had your first date.
Add a romantic upgrade — maybe a string quartet playing your song or a private candlelit dinner — and seal it with the proposal she never saw coming.
Travel + nature as proposal stage
Let nature play its part, literally! Plan a hike which ends with a beautiful setup or a picnic at a secret waterfall.
Pop the question when the moment feels right.
Take cues from Alia and Ranbir’s Masai Mara proposal. The couple kept it private amidst nature — no big audience, no public display. Just them, the ring, nature, the guide.
Surprise + discreet documentation
She might say she doesn’t need photos, but trust us, she’ll want to relive this moment forever.
Take her to the movies and coordinate with the theater to play a short film you created — maybe clips of your relationship and movie-style dialogues.
Arrange for a hidden photographer or videographer to capture her genuine reaction — tears, laughter, and all.
Take her to a concert
Andy Byron’s (then CEO of a tech company called Astronomer) “kiss cam/jumbotron moment” at the COLDPLAY concert might have gone wrong but you can make it go awwright!
If she has a favorite artist or band, take her to their concert.
Plan ahead with the venue team to get a shoutout or display “Will You Marry Me?” on the big screen during her favorite song.
Sweep her off her feet, literally!
Hidden Ring in Food (Safely!)
The classic proposal – hiding the ring in a piece of cake. But hey, it’s not literally a piece of cake. You have to play it very safe when it comes to this staged proposal.
Whether it’s a perfectly frosted cupcake, a champagne flute, or her go-to dessert, hide the ring in a safe, visible way.
When she finds it, watch her face light up in surprise. Don’t forget to hire hidden videographers to capture the ‘aha’ moment.
Augmented Reality Filter Proposal
It’s 2025, take things digital!
Create a custom AR filter or reel that reveals the proposal.
She thinks she’s just filming a fun video — until she sees the surprise message: “Will you marry me?”
A moment she’ll never forget and will be proud to share with the future kids.
Public Landmark Moment
Not like Jai and Aditi in Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na, running through the airport and getting literally escorted out by security — but let’s be real, public landmarks are a vibe when it comes to proposals.
Think monuments, a rooftop bar or cricket stadium. Our favourite? The timeless Eiffel Tower! If that’s too much, you always have Gateway of India, Qutub Minar and India Gate.
Pet Involvement for the animal-friendly
Let your furry friend help you with your big proposal.
Make a cue card or write “Will you marry me?” on a bandana and attach it to your pet’s collar.
Let your pet deliver it to her. As she opens the letter, capture her teary eyes and beautiful smile.
Dress Up the Pet in a tiny tuxedo, a bow tie, or a floral collar for an instant “aww” factor.
Literally, the best way to pop the question if she’s an animal lover.
With these 10 awwsome ideas, we wrap it up for now! Now it’s your turn to ask her the big question in the most creative and beautiful way.
Whether you keep it private or intimate or take the Bollywood route, make sure it reflects your love story.
After all, proposals aren’t just about saying “yes” — they’re about creating a memory that will live on forever.
