Katy Perry has revealed Russell Brand wore a turban when he proposed to her in India. The 25-year-old California Gurls singer was shocked when the British comic, 35, planned a meticulous proposal while they were holidaying in India over the New Year.

Speaking about the proposal at the Rambagh Palace hotel, she said to Britain's Esquire magazine: "Russell had a little turban on. We went into the lobby and there was a horse and carriage waiting, which took us to where we were going to eat: this tent made out of tens of thousands of roses. There were men holding fires on the pathway, under a blue moon."She added: "[There was] a painted elephant. We rode to another part of the hotel and watched the fireworks."The elephant freaked out: he thought it was the apocalypse. So I was freaking out, thinking I was going to end up in a wheelchair at 25, because of an elephant.

"But we lived, and we went to another area that Russell had set up by these waterfalls, with traditional Indian coloured flowers, orange and fuchsia. Then there was this balcony that had a love seat, and a bunch of flowers on a table. The ring was underneath them." The couple will wed later this year in October.
