Malvika Raaj, young Poo from 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham', gets engaged
Former child actor Malvika Raaj, who is best remembered for her portrayal of the younger version of Kareena Kapoor's iconic character Poo in the Bollywood classic Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, is celebrating a significant milestone in her personal life. The talented starlet took to her Instagram account on Friday to share the joyous news of her engagement with businessman Pranav Bagga, and the pictures from the dreamy proposal in Cappadocia, Turkey.
In a series of heartwarming photographs, Malvika and Pranav can be seen basking in the magic of their special moment. The picturesque location amidst the enchanting hot air balloons added an extra touch of romance to the already dreamy setting. Pranav made a grand gesture by going down on one knee and presenting a dazzling ring to his beloved, who looked stunning in a graceful white gown, while he donned a dashing white suit.
Sharing the beautiful moments on her Instagram, Malvika wrote a heartfelt caption that expressed her excitement and love for her fiancé. She quoted, "Here we are, we've just begun. And after all this time, our time has come. Here we are, still goin' strong. Right here in the place where we belong"
The engagement pictures captured the essence of their love, with Pranav planting a tender kiss on Malvika's forehead, and the couple embracing each other warmly. A touching picture showcased a creatively designed backdrop with the words 'Marry Me,' signifying the magical moment of the proposal.
Malvika's journey in the entertainment industry has been remarkable. After leaving a lasting impression as young Poo in the Karan Johar-directed Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, she took a hiatus from acting to prioritise her education. In a 2021 interview with Hindustan Times, she revealed that despite receiving offers, her family wanted her to focus on academics, fearing that acting might distract her during her schooling years. Respecting her family's wishes, Malvika dedicated herself to her studies and successfully balanced her passion for acting with her academic pursuits.
In recent years, Malvika made her return to the big screen as an adult with the action-packed film Squad, where she showcased her versatility and talent. Now, as she embarks on this new chapter in her personal life, her fans and well-wishers are thrilled for her and wish the couple all the love and happiness as they begin their journey towards a lifetime of togetherness.
