In an interview to <a title="Bombay Times" href="http://www.bombaytimes.com/movies/india/ashmit-and-mahek-get-engaged-in-spain/articleshow/60102363.cms" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Bombay Times</a>, Ashmit Patel said, "I never told Maheck that I was carrying a ring with me. We were supposed to meet her family in Norway and I wanted to propose to her in Paris, the city of love, but it did not happen that way. We were at a cozy restaurant in Marbella (Spain), which had a fantastic view, and I decided to propose."
While talking about the proposal, <a title="Ashmit Patel " href="http://www.mid-day.com/search/ashmit-patel-all" target="_blank">Ashmit Patel </a>told the newspaper, "Maheck has a habit of having dessert after dinner, and I had decided to propose then. However, on that night, she did not ask for any dessert. So, I excused myself and asked the waiters to get some strawberries dipped in chocolate. I then placed the ring on the plate with strawberries, under a bowl which was placed upside."
Reacting to the surprise, <a title="Maheck Chahal" href="http://www.mid-day.com/search/maheck-chahal-all" target="_blank">Maheck Chahal</a> told the daily, "I was so surprised, that I laughed out loud. Since we were not sure which finger &mdash; right or left &mdash; the ring should be worn on, we paused for a while. He then went down on his knees and the entire restaurant cheered for us. It was a very romantic proposal."
The couple plan to get married in six months. While Ashmit wants a destination wedding abroad, Maheck prefers getting hitched in India, added the report.
Ashmit Patel also shared a photo of him going down on his knees and proposing to Maheck Chahal. He captioned the picture, "She said YES!!! @maheckchahal #downonmyknee #engagement #ring #butwhichfinger #partnerforlife #bae #yesididit (sic)"

An MMS of actress Riya Sen and her then boyfriend Ashmit Patel showing the pair in a compromising position rocked the industry in 2005. Following this incident, the couple split, although Riya denied that she was the girl in the clip. A commentator claimed that the footage was an orchestrated publicity stunt for their film 'Silsilay' which released the same year.
