<\/a>Hotelier-turned-actor Vikram Chatwal announced on Thursday his engagement\nto long-rumored girlfriend Priya Sachdev.<\/p>\n\n

Chatwal was in India to promote his film “One Dollar Curry” at\na film festival in Goa. During a visit to Bombay, he asked Sachdev to accompany\nhim to a gurudwara. She describes the rest to The Indian Express<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n

\n

In true filmi style, after they both did the matha tek, he slipped a 10-carat\ndiamond ring on her finger. “He said, ‘This is an engagement ring.\nDo you accept?’” says Sachdev. “I was stunned. We couldn’t\neven hug in the temple. But we called his family and then called mine and everyone\nwas very surprised.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Delhi-based Sachdev, a former New Yorker, currently splits time between modeling and working\non her new television show\n— an “Entertainment Tonight”-like rundown of films, celebrities\nand gossip. Like Chatwal, she has big-screen aspirations:<\/p>\n\n

\n

Bollywood offers have already poured in for this Bharatnatyam\nand Kathak dancer, but most of them have involved playing the third angle in\na love triangle. “I don’t want to start as the other woman,” says\nSachdev. Apparently, certain producers have also offered striptease roles claiming\nthat she could be the next Bipasha Basu of “Jism.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

The pair have not set a wedding date, but agree that “Jism” is the\ngreatest movie title ever.<\/p>\n\n
