Day 42 will go down as a red letter one on the
Bigg Boss calendar, at least for host Salman Khan, because it's not often that he receives a televised proposal of marriage from a top Bollywood actress.
Deepika, looking rather fetching in a Bodice shirt and trousers, was on
Bigg Boss 9 on Saturday to promote her new film
Tamasha and was drafted into playing a 'game' by Salman.
Salman, 49 going on 50, is Bollywood's most eligible bachelor and appeared completely taken aback and slightly alarmed when his 29-year-old guest went down on one knee. "Salman will you marry me?," asked Deepika. (Also Read:

The reply, when it came, was in the negative - sort of. "You've won the game, I'm out," Salman told Deepika, defeated. (Also Read:

Here's what went down and we imagine the alarm would have been on the other side had Salman answered differently. It caused Deepika a moment of disquiet as it was.
The proposal and its subsequent rejection aired in the Sunday episode of
Bigg Boss.
Currently, there is a safe distance of a thousand-odd kilometres between Deepika, who is in New Delhi, and Salman, who is in Mumbai.
Tamasha, which co-stars Ranbir Kapoor, releases this Friday.
