“During the early days of our relationship, there was a time when he came to pick me up at the airport, and according to him, he wanted to pop the question right away. However, he got nervous and dropped the idea.” the Virasat actress quipped.

Meanwhile, in another interview with MensXP, Nawab Shah talked about proposing to his wife Pooja Batra in front of the families. Nawab shared that it was an unplanned proposal and both of them were feeling overwhelmed.
In the same interview, the Panipat actor was asked how he feels Pooja is the right girl for him. Calling it a “universal call”, Nawab Shah said that sometimes people don’t take decisions and added that in his case, things happen quite “magically”.
The actor further said that Pooja was living in Los Angeles. Although they knew each other before, the couple reconnected as soon as she returned from LA.
Talking about their first conversation, Nawab Shah revealed that they met at the airport and then started spending more time together.
