WILL YOU MARRY ME?

KAJAL AGGARWAL KITCHLU

Actor

“Before I got married to Gautam [Kitchlu] in 2020, I had a very clear idea of what kind of ring I wanted: a cushion-cut diamond. I left the details up to my fiancé to decide on, who spent a lot of time figuring out the type and size of diamond as well as the design of the ring. While selecting, he considered my personality, taste, and preferences... Gautam selected a 2.5-carat, cushion-cut diamond with a white gold band that has solitaires running all across it. He even got the band engraved with both our initials and the date of the proposal.

Since my ring is set in white gold, it pairs well with most of my jewellery pieces in other metals, and works seamlessly with my outfits. I wear the ring every day, along with a custom-made wedding band and classic solitaire earrings as they make for an effortless pairing. My engagement ring signifies a new chapter in my life, and the next step in our relationship.”

MAIA SETHNA MALHOTRA

“My husband, Aditya [Malhotra] designed my engagement ring himself, which makes it extra special. It is an elegant round-cut diamond with two baguettes on either side, in the Art Deco style.

Aditya had planned a surprise proposal while we were on vacation in Ladakh, in 2016... he asked me to marry him on the banks of the Indus River. It was incredibly romantic, and I was deeply touched by how much effort he had put into planning this.
