The Diwali special episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18 is going to be a treat for fans. The cast of Ramayana is coming to the show. Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi and Ravie Dubey will sit on the hot seat with host Amitabh Bachchan.
During the episode, Ranbir shared a very filmy story from his personal life: the day he proposed to Alia Bhatt in the wild, with real lions close by.
What Happened on KBC 18?
Ranbir told Big B how he planned his proposal in Masai Mara, Kenya. The couple was on a holiday there, and he wanted the moment to be special.
The Secret Plan Behind the Proposal
Ranbir did not leave anything to chance. He took the ring with him and made a plan with the people helping on the trip. He gave a tip to his guide and driver so they would stop the vehicle in the middle of the jungle.
He also wanted the moment captured. Here is how he explained it:
“Maine pehle se hi apna jo guide hai, jo driver hai, unko ek tip de di thi ki aap kahin rok dena jaake beech jungle mein. Main anguthi laya tha ki main ghutnon pe jaunga aur aap door se photographs khichna.”
He also said why he wanted photos: “Kyunki ladkiyon ko photographs ka bahut shaukh hai, Instagram pe daalne ka.”

Amitabh Bachchan’s Funny Reaction
When Ranbir spoke about the lions, Big B had a quick reply for him: “Proof to hona chahiye.”
“Meri Sherni Mere Aage Khadi Thi”
This was the best part of the story. Ranbir said that while he was down on one knee, three lions were sitting not far away. He said:
“Teen babbar sher is taraf the, kuch 100 meter par, aur meri sherni mere aage khadi thi aur main chuha ban kar apne ghutnon par khada tha ki baby, ‘Will you marry me?’”
He also called it an “adbhut moment” of his life, one he will remember forever.
