The stunning photo was taken on a rooftop in London, with Akshay getting on one knee in front of a "Will you marry me" sign. Harpreet, who was wearing a glamorous dress, was surrounded by fireworks and rose petals as she accepted the proposal.

The most recent series of The Apprentice concluded recently, and Lord Alan Sugar revealed that producers will look to tone down the intensity in the final round of interviews after some controversy.
"I think we need to tone that down a bit. I found it hard to watch," he said. "Unfortunately when that was recorded, I wasn’t there. Anyway, I’m not making any excuses. When I saw it in the end, I thought, 'This is too harsh', and we’re going to tone it down now.
"I don’t think it’s entertaining. It used to be entertaining. All the previous boardroom [episode] 11s were entertaining. This one was very harsh. I’ve told them [the advisors] now. Believe me, it won’t be happening again."
The Apprentice airs on BBC One, with spin-off series You're Fired airing immediately afterwards on BBC Two.
