B-Town's Most Romantic Proposals

And The Rain Falls Down (Wake up Sid) - Aisha (Konkona Sen Sharma) is the New Girl in the City of Mumbai. On her first day in the city, she befriends a carefree guy Sid (Ranbir Kapoor) who is much less younger than her and the opposite of everything she idealizes in her vision of a dream man. They quickly become good friends and turn of events has Sid sharing the same roof as Aisha. Throughout their journey together, one thing he keeps telling Aisha is that she hasn't seen the real beauty of Mumbai yet and that is the rain. For rain at the seaside defines beauty to Sid. Over time, Aisha finds herself falling for Sid and the spark between them is hard to miss. So, when Sid finally gets his act together and patches up with his family, Aisha is more than just a little hurt when he moves out and back home. Away from her, Sid realizes just how truly he misses her and longs to be with her again, but he isn't sure that she feels the same as him. In her first article written for a magazine, Aisha confesses that she fell in love with the city of dreams because she had the company of someone who made her fall for him, despite all their differences. Sid realizes that it's him she is talking about and he goes out to meet her, as Mumbai sees its first rain of the season. Sure enough, she is where he thought she'd be - at the seaside. Seeing her, all he does is complain that she wrote such a big article instead of telling him in person. And while she is recovering from the pleasant shock of seeing him in front of her, he holds her face and as the rain drenches them, he says what she longed to hear, "I love you too." And that's the best way to make the first rain of the season memorable enough to last a lifetime!

Marry Me (My Name Is Khan) - Mandira (Kajol Devgn) claims that San Francisco is her favorite city and there's not a place in the city which she hasn't seen. So, when Rizwan (Shah Rukh Khan) professes his love for her and his wish to marry her, she puts down the condition that she'll say yes only when Rizwan shows her something she hasn't seen in San Francisco. Rizwan tries showing her many sights but she has already seen them all. Then, one day in the wee hours of the morning, he shows up at her doorstep and forces her to come with him and see something. She is flabbergasted at his request and his eagerness to not be late. And at the right moment, he makes her close her eyes. Then, she opens her eyes to a sight she has never seen before, the city covered in clouds before the sun has risen completely, and ultimately the love Rizwan has for her. Overwhelmed by the purity of his emotions, she asks him the same question he had been asking her for so many days, "Marry me?" 

Tera Mujhse Hai Pehle Ka Naata Koi (Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na) - Jai (Imran Khan) claims that when he'd find his true soul mate, he'd sing for her. But Aditi (Genelia Dsouza) has always been just his best friend. And as they say, you never realize what you had till it's gone. Aditi, heartbroken that the love she feels for Jai is unrequited, is leaving for USA, without even meeting Jai for the last time. When Jai gets to know this, he becomes her literal Prince Charming and gallops on a horse towards the airport. There, he breaks through security, dodges the police and gets termed as a terrorist but doesn't stop until he has seen Aditi. Once she's in his sight, he calls out to her by using his exclusive nickname "Meow" for her. And when she turns around, he sings a very inharmonious rendition of the classic "Tera Mujhse Hai Pehle Ka Naata Koi". That off key song, amidst the crowd of confused onlookers and the police ready to take him down by gunshots at any moment, does the trick and shows Aditi how much he loves her. Ultimately, all's well when she runs to him and accepts his very ill-timed, "I love you. Don't leave." 

Chubh Tou Nahin Raha? (Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham) - There are times when one's patience is tested enough, specially when they want to say something which means the world to them and the other just refuses to understand it. Rahul (Shah Rukh Khan) was going through the same. He was trying his best to tell Anjali (Kajol Devgn) that he intended to marry her but she kept thinking of it as him wanting to take over her family sweet shop. And when all his sweet attempts fail, he takes hold of her hand and under the innocent pretense of putting bangles in her hand, tells her that what they have is not just friendship, it's something much more profound and beautiful. The intensity of his words and the very little distance between them has Anjali shocked at first, followed by some shy blushing. When he's done with his proclamation and the bangles are in her hand, she makes a move to leave only to have him pull her back, arm twisted behind her back and him whispering teasingly in her ear that come what may, he'll have her family sweet shop at any cost. And then, he seals it with a kiss.

Long Distance Relationship, Chalta Hi Nahin (Love Aaj Kal) - Love doesn't always have to be out of the world and the lover a larger than life person. Because Jai (Saif Ali Khan) certainly wasn't. He was a normal guy, living his normal life when he crossed paths with Meera (Deepika Padukone) and has a normal steady relationship with her. But when they had to go separate ways in life for professional aspirations, they broke it off on a nice note and decided to remain friends. They talked on the phone, chatted about their life and even met up, both of them realizing that what they had is still very much there; because it wasn't just physical attraction, rather the love bug. She realized it before he did but never bothered him with it. He learned it the hard way; when his ideal perfect life turned to nothing and his longing for Meera consumed him more than he could bear, he left behind everything to meet her. Upon knowing that she was going through the same solitude like him, he realized that despite the distance, they were very much on the same stage of life. And when he did see her, doing her job without any expectation of hearing from him, yet hoping he'd come, he didn't say any big words of eternal love. Because they were normal people, not Romeo and Juliet who eternally united in death. They were normal people who fell in love and were going to be together in this life and spend their days with each other. And this very logical look of their relationship did the magic which no speech could've done. She was down with him and they were together - in the most normal, real and logical way possible.
