1 / 10 When it comes to confessing love, most people prefer romantic settings. While some choose beaches, others plan elaborate surprises at restaurants or hotels for the love of their life. A few may also opt for temples, hilltops or other scenic locations. However, do you know that somebody once proposed to his girlfriend at a crematorium? We are talking about Jabardasth fame actor Rocking Rakesh.

2 / 10 The comedian reportedly took his then-girlfriend, Jordar Sujatha, to a crematorium in the middle of the night and proposed to her for marriage. Sujatha herself opened up about the unconventional proposal recently and shared details of their relationship in an interview.

3 / 10 Recalling how their relationship began, Sujatha said that her bond with Rakesh was initially purely coincidental. The two met while working on a project and eventually became close friends. However, things took a romantic turn when Rakesh unexpectedly took Sujatha to a crematorium late one night. She admitted that she had no idea why he had brought her there.

4 / 10 It was at the crematorium that Rakesh confessed his feelings to her. According to Sujatha, he told her that he liked her and wanted them to get married and spend the rest of their lives together.

5 / 10 However, Sujatha did not take his proposal seriously at first. “I thought he was joking. Rakesh always talks in a funny way, so I assumed he was making a joke even then. I didn't take his words seriously and simply let it go,” she recalled, as quoted by TV9 Telugu.

6 / 10 Rakesh eventually made his intentions even clearer. Sujatha recalled an incident when she was speaking to her mother over the phone. Rakesh suddenly took the phone from her and told her mother that he really liked her daughter.

7 / 10 The unexpected confession left Sujatha’s family stunned. “My mother asked me why he was talking like that. I somehow covered for him by telling her that he always jokes around and that he was only kidding,” Sujatha said.

8 / 10 Following this, Rakesh invited Sujata to his house and told her that he really loved her. "He told me what was on his mind very seriously. He had already convinced all his family members. After that, he also talked to them at our house. Only then did I believe that he really loved me and did all this with the intention of getting married. We got married with the consent of both families," Sujatha shared.

9 / 10 Rakesh and Sujatha finally got married on February 24, 2023, at Tirumala in the presence of Lord Venkateswara. The couple welcomed their daughter in August 2024 and named her Khyathika.
