Millions of girls are crazy about Hollywood star Gerard Butler, but he lost his heart to our very own 'desi girl' Priyanka Chopra, a few years ago. Yes, you read that right! He visited India in 2009, and Priyanka organised a party in his honour at her Versova home. Gerard, who was smitten with her, did his best to charm her throughout the evening, but to no avail. He had even proposed to her for marriage several times.

According to reports, every half-hour, the actor kneeled in front of Priyanka and asked her to marry him. Revealing the same back then, a guest present during the party had told TOI, "Of course, the party was for Gerard who was completely besotted by Priyanka and kept proposing to her every half hour. It's become a standing joke rather a 'kneeling' joke between them. 'Will you marry me?' he knelt and said every half hour while she would burst into laughter. She's clearly not interested on being Mrs Butler". 

Later, in 2012, the Hollywood actor even confessed his liking for the Dil Dhadakne Do star. Talking about PeeCee, he told IANS, "Last year, Priyanka was here (US) and I was going out of town to a wedding. I stay in Malibu and she was coming to party at Malibu and I couldn't meet. I was even thinking of missing the plane and going and saying hello because I hadn't seen her in a long time. But we are in touch all the time". 

He further added, "I am still single because I am waiting for Priyanka Chopra".

Sadly, nothing happened between them and the duo soon moved on in their lives. While Gerard has been dating Morgan Brown for a long time now, Priyanka got hitched to Nick Jonas in 2018. Last month, Priyanka-Nick welcomed their first child via surrogacy.
