Renowned model-actress Pooja Batra made her Hindi film debut with Anil Kapoor and Tabu-starrer Virasat in 1997. The actress also worked in movies like Haseena Maan Jayegi and Nayak in her career. As Pooja turns a year older today, let’s reminisce about how her second husband Nawab Shah initially planned a proposal at the airport and later dropped the idea as he got nervous.

During a 2019 interview with the Times of India, Pooja Batra spilled the beans about her proposal story with her husband, Nawab Shah. Pooja revealed that once he came to pick her up at an airport and wished to “pop the question".

"During the initial days of our relationship, there was this one time when he came to pick me up at the airport, and according to him, he wanted to pop the question right then. However, he got nervous and dropped the idea," the Virasat actress quipped.

Pooja expressed that Nawab wanted to propose after their first meeting and finally did it in Delhi and later when he met her parents with his fam ily.

Meanwhile, in another interview with MensXP, Nawab Shah spoke about proposing to his wife Pooja Batra in front of families. Nawab shared that it was an unplanned proposal and both of them felt overwhelmed.

In the same interview, the Panipat actor was asked about how he felt Pooja was the right girl for him. Calling it a "universal call," Nawab Shah expressed that sometimes people don't decide and stated that in their case, things happen quite "magically".
