An actor playing the character of Aladdin for a stage production proposed to Jasmine whose role was essayed by his real-life girlfriend on stage. Their images were posted on Twitter by De Montfort Hall's official handle and have been received with a lot of positive comments and 'likes' by netizens. In the caption, they congratulated the couple on their engagement. 

Ensured parents' presence

Matthew Pomeroy was reportedly playing the role of Aladdin for four years along with his girlfriend Natasha Lamb who played Princess Jasmine. However, at the recent show of the play in De Montfort Hall in Leicester, England, the actor decided to make some improvisations to the play.  At the end of the play, Pomeroy broke the script and proposed to Lamb right on stage. The act ended in happiness as Lamb said yes to the proposal and agreed to marry her long-time boyfriend.
