After falling in “love over the phone”, Shailin planned a special proposal for Masoom in London at the iconic London Eye to which she happily said yes. She further added:
“Picture this – we were in the London Eye Glass Bubble, sitting on top of the world (practically), it started raining & he was asking me to be his girlfriend in the most magical way I had ever envisioned!!!”

And then finally after three and a half years, Shailin bent on his knees and proposed marriage to Masoom at Mumbai’s Marine Drive in the most magical way possible and she said yes. Talking about that magical moment, she gushed saying:
“At that very moment, a violinist and guitarist appeared and began playing. I looked back at Shailin, and he was down on his knees, holding the most beautiful ring I had ever seen, asking me to spend the rest of my life with him. It was so moving—he re-created the moment our love story started, at London’s biggest landmark, and transported it to Mumbai’s monumental seaside walkway.”
Shailin just knows how to woo his lady love! Then after a few days, they both got engaged in front of their near and dear ones.

Masoom is a “lover of Indian culture and traditions at heart” and wanted the same to be reflected in her wedding. And, before starting the shopping spree for her wedding attires, she jotted down all the cuts and shapes she wanted to wear at various functions. She said:
“I ensured that I covered every silhouette that I loved along with segregating appropriate jewellery and beauty looks for each function.”
It was a small Gujarati roka ceremony in Mumbai and they both sealed the deal by exchanging rings. Masoom’s engagement ring was engraved with the date that marked the beginning of their romance “18/04/2012 to ∞.” And to make sure that her “social media family” doesn’t feel left out, she created hashtag #MissSFVirtualEngagement and shared her celebration with everyone.
But, what grabbed the attention was her gorgeous designer pale blue lehenga. Talking about her engagement outfit, Masoom said:
“I picked this Anita Dongre pastel hue lehenga with only one idea in mind – I did not want anything loud, bright or over-the-top.”
