A romantic Bollywood moment came alive on the streets of New York when Indian man Parth Maniar planned a spectacular surprise proposal for his partner at Times Square. The grand gesture, inspired by Hindi cinema, quickly caught the attention of thousands on social media.
Flash mob to bollywood songs steals the show
In the viral clip, Maniar’s friends-his “boys squad”-broke into a fully choreographed dance routine to “Pretty Woman” from Shah Rukh Khan’s iconic film Kal Ho Naa Ho. The high-energy moves instantly drew cheers from tourists and locals, while Maniar’s partner looked stunned and emotional by the surprise unfolding in the heart of NYC.
The couple’s love story didn’t stop at one performance. Maniar later shared two additional videos featuring the group dancing to “Koi Mil Gaya” from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and “Wo Ladki Jo” from Baadshah, adding even more Bollywood magic to the moment.
The romantic proposal moment
Toward the end of the video, Maniar drops to one knee with a ring in hand, asking his partner Shreya to marry him. The sweet moment is met with cheers from the crowd as Shreya accepts, making Times Square their perfect backdrop for the beginning of a new chapter.
Sharing the video on Instagram, Maniar captioned it: “When the homies become dancers so you can become a fiancé.”
Shreya reacted to the emotional surprise by posting the video from her perspective, writing: “When her girls dance with me, I know I didn’t just find a girl… I found a whole squad, a whole home.”Social Media Applauds the Fairy-Tale Proposal
