Anshula shared a beautiful carousel of images from the proposal, which capture the pure emotion of the moment — from surprise and happy tears to shared laughter and tight embraces. Wearing a floral dress and visibly overwhelmed with joy, Anshula is seen tearing up as Rohan goes down on one knee. The couple later holds hands, beams with joy, and celebrates their special moment with a sparkling engagement ring and a burger date — true to their love story.

But it’s her caption that brings the entire journey to life. She wrote:

“We met on an app. Started talking on a random Tuesday at 1.15AM. We spoke until 6am that morning.

And somehow, even back then, it felt like the beginning of something that mattered.

3 years later, in my favourite city, in front of the castle in Central Park, he proposed! At exactly 1.15 AM India time!

And somehow the world paused just long enough for the moment to feel like magic.

Just the quiet kind of love that feels like home.

I’ve never been the girl who believed in fairytales.. but what @rohanthakkar1511 gave me that day was better. Because it was intentional. Thoughtful. Real. Us.

I said yes. ❤️

Through ugly tears, shaky laughs, and the kind of happiness I can’t put into words. Because since 2022, it’s always been you.

I’m engaged to my best friend!!! My safe place. My person.

Fav boy, fav city… and now, my fav YES! 💍🗽❤️♾️

(First meal after had to be shake shack because our first conversation was around the love of the shroom burger! IYKYK 😊)”

The caption reveals how their journey began from a dating app conversation at 1:15 AM, which continued till morning — an early sign of connection that would later evolve into a deep and enduring bond. The timing of the proposal at exactly 1:15 AM India time is a poetic callback to that very beginning.

Anshula, daughter of the late producer Boney Kapoor and sister to actor Arjun Kapoor, has mostly maintained a private life, making this public declaration all the more touching. She’s spoken in the past about personal growth, self-love, and mental health — and this post feels like a culmination of finding a love that aligns with that journey.

The final slides of the post show her elegant engagement ring, followed by a cozy fast-food moment — a Shake Shack meal that’s more significant than it seems. As Anshula mentioned, their first conversation ever revolved around the mutual love for the chain’s popular “shroom burger.”

Fans and celebrities have flooded the comments section with heartfelt congratulations. With this beautifully written and emotionally resonant post, Anshula Kapoor’s engagement is being celebrated not just for its fairytale charm, but also for its quiet authenticity. A love story rooted in timing, comfort, and intentionality — truly, the kind that feels like home.
