Mumbai: Wedding bells are ringing for actress Jiya Shankar! After keeping her relationship largely away from the spotlight, the Bigg Boss OTT 2 fame actress has announced her engagement to boyfriend Kaaran.

Jiya shared a series of dreamy pictures from the intimate proposal on Instagram. Dressed in a pastel-yellow satin gown, the actress looked visibly emotional as Kaaran went down on one knee against a picturesque backdrop of greenery and the sea.
