When Comedy Met Romance
In the world of stand-up comedy, surprises and laughter are expected. But no one was prepared for the emotional twist that took place during one of comedian Aakash Shah’s live performances. What started as a regular stand-up comedy routine turned into one of the most heartwarming and talked-about proposals on the Indian internet. Aakash Shah proposed to his girlfriend and fellow stand-up comic Aishwarya Mohanraj on stage in front of a live audience. What followed — a sweet kiss between the two — instantly went viral on social media, winning the hearts of fans across the country.
The Background: Two Comedians, One Love Story
Aishwarya Mohanraj is a well-known Indian stand-up comedian and content creator, famous for her relatable jokes and quirky delivery. Aakash Shah, also a comedian, had been her partner for quite some time. Their relationship had been low-key, but close followers of their social media profiles had noticed glimpses of their romance. However, no one expected Aakash to make a public proposal — and certainly not during a stand-up show. The idea was unexpected, bold, and deeply personal, blending their shared love for comedy with a life-changing moment.
The On-Stage Proposal: A PowerPoint With a Punch
During a live show, Aakash surprised both Aishwarya and the audience by presenting a PowerPoint presentation titled, “Why I Should Be Your Husband.” The presentation was laced with humor, witty punchlines, and heartfelt moments. From showcasing their shared memories to making comical comparisons of their compatibility. Aakash used every slide to entertain the crowd while expressing genuine love and admiration for Aishwarya.
At the end of the presentation, Aakash got down on one knee and asked her the big question — “Will you marry me?” The audience burst into applause, and Aishwarya, stunned and smiling, said yes. But the surprise wasn’t over.
A Playful Twist: Two Rings, One Heartwarming Moment
Just when everyone thought the moment couldn’t get better. Aishwarya pulled out a ring of her own and jokingly proposed back to Aakash. The playful reversal of roles added an extra layer of charm to the event. The couple then kissed on stage, a moment that was caught on camera and soon made its way across Instagram. Twitter, and YouTube. The viral video was shared by thousands, with fans celebrating not just the romantic gesture but also the joy and authenticity it represented.
Social Media Explosion: Fans React
The video of the proposal spread like wildfire on the internet. Fans of both comedians flooded social media with love and congratulatory messages. On Instagram, the comments were filled with hearts, laughter emojis, and happy tears. Fellow comedians and influencers also chimed in, appreciating how the couple combined humor with such a heartfelt moment. Memes were created, wedding hashtags started trending. And Aakash and Aishwarya suddenly found themselves at the center of India’s favorite internet love story.
The Wedding: From Laughter to Lifelong Vows
After their viral engagement, Aakash and Aishwarya planned a beautiful wedding that matched their personalities — vibrant, cheerful, and full of love. The wedding festivities began with a fun-filled pool party where close friends and fellow comedians gathered to celebrate. The haldi ceremony had a traditional Malayali theme, with Aishwarya wearing a Kasavu saree and Aakash dressed in a silk kurta and mundu.
The wedding took place on October 19, 2022, in Goa. The beachside ceremony during sunset was nothing short of magical. Aishwarya wore a stunning mustard and maroon lehenga and walked down the mirrored aisle with her bridesmaids to the sound of a Marathi folk song. Aakash made his entrance with the same bridesmaids to a peppy Malayalam track, adding a touch of fun to the formal event. The celebration was a beautiful fusion of cultures, fun, and family.
