When it comes to romance and marriage proposals, Shahrukh Khan is master of the game. His proposal to Kajol after years of not realizing that she loved him is epic and meant to floor you! Sure, this was a tear-jerker, but then he did take the help of a buddy to floor his girl. We mean the Salman Khan angle, folks. But then, despite Kajol’s love for SRK never having been realized in the first half of the film, we still believe that the rehearsal proposal was top class. Get into SRK mode and get that vibe within yourself.  No girl could refuse you this Valentine’s Day.
