Proposal On Airport PA System!

Chhabra spent a month planning the proposal with the help of airport staff.

When Vash Chhabra started thinking about how to propose to his girlfriend, Riiya Shukla, his mind went straight to her favorite Bollywood films.

But instead of trying to create a complicated song-and-dance routine, he had another idea: THE AIRPORT.

Shukla, an Auckland native, lives in Melbourne, Australia, where she works for the Victoria state government. She and Chhabra, who still lives in New Zealand, have been in a long-distance relationship.

So Chhabra hatched a plan: he’d arrange for their loved ones to be at the Auckland Airport when Shukla arrived for a visit.

He would propose to Shukla via the airport announcement system!

Getting their loved ones on board for the big day was easy, but going through the layers of airport staff and protocol was a challenge.

He finally connected with Laura Platts, the Auckland Airport communications manager, that everything began to fall into place. (CNN)

Love conquers all!

(She said “YES!”)
