Young and Restless alum pops the question in Tanzania.
Actor Abhi Sinha, who played Jabot computer whiz, Ravi Shapur on The Young and the Restless from 2017 – 2018, took to social media to not only share photos from his incredible vacation in Africa, but also his engagement to his longtime girlfriend, Helen Kim. The proposal took place in front of Mount Kilimanjaro and was photographed by Sinha’s sister, Ava.
Alongside the photo of Sinha down on one knee, the actor explained, “While at Sabi Sands we saw a beautiful bird called The Lilac Breasted Roller. Our guides @nombekana and @c.rob_wildlifephotography told us that the feathers of these birds are very rare. They are so rare and valuable, that often local men will use the feathers to propose to women.” He went on to say, “While I wasn’t able to obtain a Lilac Breasted Roller’s feather – I did have a ring that I had been carrying close to the vest, non-stop for several weeks. And I couldn’t think of a better place to propose than in Amboseli, right in front of Kilimanjaro. On June 17th, 2019 – I asked the love of my life to marry me. Best decision of my life. (Because she said yes! 😁) I love you so much Helen, and cannot wait to marry you. Fiancé has a nice ring to it for sure 😜 (Ok I’m done).”

Kilimanjaro, my best friend asked me a question and I said yes! Seriously felt like I was in a dream and I’m still pinching myself expecting to wake up. But this is not a drill!!! @abhidabi and I are for real engaged 😱 Abhi, I love you so much and I’m so excited to plan the rest of our lives together!!”⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
