  "account": "Siddharth Rao Hydari duped Aditi Rao Hydari with up to 30 fake proposals over a year-long charade. In an interview, the Operation Safed Sagar actor revealed he had been rehearsing for the big question and proposed to her in a place she had visited as a child. After purchasing the engagement ring and making preparations, Siddharth told Aditi he wished to visit her grandfather's school, where he had sought permission for the surprise. A friend provided a speaker and camera, and a special song played as Siddharth knelt down on one knee. Aditi bluntly told Siddharth to tie his shoelace and get home, commenting on the 20-30 fake proposals he had performed over the past year.",
