Bhupathi who is in Chennai for a Davis Cup playoff tie against Brazil updated his twiiter page with the message, "So, Lara Dutta and me got engaged in NY last week. It's official now," Lara dutta also confirmed the news while speaking to a publication and also mentioned that Mahesh proposed to her during the recent US open and it took her completely by surprise. Bhupathi proposed her in NY during a candle-lit-dinner and also gifted a ring.Dressed casually, she'd strike you as any ordinary college student. Except that she is quite extraordinary.
