She said Akram was nervous about proposing in the traditional way.“He was really sweet about it.He asked me what my dream proposal would be and I said I'm not the type of woman that likes a big scene. I would want it to be at home or somewhere private. “Then I came into the lounge room and he was on his knee and asked me if I'd marry him.“ She told Akram: “If we are doing this the traditional way, then you have to ask my father.“
