Manoje Biddvai who is currently seen in a negative role in Aisa Desh Hain Mera, got engaged to his long-time girlfriend Raavee Gupta on August 20. It was a private affair at Raavee's home. Manoj sounded ecstatic as he relived the moments. "It was Ravee's birthday on August 15, when we drove off to Goa. I had decided to give her a surprise and already arranged for a cake in the room and decorated it with flowers. Ravee was spellbound. Then with a ring in my hand, I got down on my knees and proposed her for marriage. But then, both of us wanted our families to be on our sides."
Manoje says that the engagement (Rokha ceremony) was an impromptu decision by Raavee's father, Ranjendar Gupta, also a well known actor. "I had taken my family to Raavee's house. Meanwhile, Raavee's father had shown my horroscope to a pandit who predicted that Ravee and I will have a happy conjugal life. So, we ended up having the Rokha!" Manoj says that there will soon be a lavish engagement in September, where the industry friends will be invited. The wedding is tentatively scheduled some time in February.
Ps: For those who are still confused...the groom Manoje Biddvai played Shashank, sports coach in Remix.
