Ranbir Kapoor recalls lion encounter during Alia Bhatt proposal on KBC 18
The Story in Brief
Ranbir Kapoor shared the story of his proposal to Alia Bhatt during a Maasai Mara trip on the Diwali special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18, airing on 29 and 30 October on Sony Entertainment Television. He said he had tipped his guide and driver to stop in the jungle and take photographs from a distance because 'girls love posting photographs on Instagram'.
Kapoor said he had brought the ring from home and was ready to go down on one knee when three lions were standing around 100 feet away. He described Alia as his 'sherni' and himself as a 'chuha' as he asked her to marry him. Host Amitabh Bachchan joked that there had to be 'proof' of the proposal. The couple married in April 2022 after the Kenya holiday.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both filmibeat.com and mid-day.com covered the same KBC 18 anecdote with near-identical factual details: the pre-tipped driver, the ring, the three lions at 100 feet, and the chuha-sherni punchline. Neither outlet added political framing, official commentary, or any angle beyond the celebrity anecdote. The coverage is uniform straight reporting of a light entertainment segment, with no stance differences between the two sources. The only concrete next step is the broadcast of the Diwali special episodes on 29 and 30 October.
