Happy Propose Day: From Sholay to Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, a look at Bollywood's most romantic proposal scenes
On Propose Day, we take a look at some of the most memorable and romantic scenes of professing love from Hindi films over the years
Romance has been integral to Hindi cinema for decades. From songs to elaborate sequences, Bollywood films have utilised it all to showcase the heroes professing their love. On Propose Day, we take a look at some of the most memorable and romantic sequences over the years.
Dharmendra's Veeru had a rather annoying and quirky proposal for Basanti (Hema Malini) in Sholay, when he broke into Koi Haseena Jab. But eventually, it did work out for him
Pehla Nasha, the song from Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar, immortalised teenage love for an entire generation. And while the song had Aamir Khan's character singing for Pooja Bedi, the film later had a tender moment between Aamir and Ayesha Jhulka as well
Very rarely do Hindi films end on a proposal, but that is where Kuch Kuch Hota Hai changed things. The final of the scene of the film had Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) finally talk about his feelings with Anjali (Kajol)
Trust Shah Rukh Khan to propose on behalf of someone else. In Kal Ho Naa Ho, his character Aman turned matchmaker for Saif Ali Khan and Preity Zinta's characters in this memorable scene where he pretended to read from Saif's diary
The moment Aamir Khan's Aakash proposes to Preity Zinta's Shalini in Dil Chahta Hai very cleverly mirrors their first interaction in the film. Aakash uses the same line he first said to Shalini, only this time he actually means it, showing the growth of his character
Many films and shows over the year have used the airport chase sequence between a hero and his female lead, but Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na perfected it. The ligt-hearted and innocent manner in which the film depicted the proposal made it memorable
