Mumbai: Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali’s daughter Ida Ali has got engaged to her long-time boyfriend Krish Agrawal in an intimate ceremony. Imtiaz shared a glimpse of the special occasion on social media, seeking blessings for the newly engaged couple.
The filmmaker, known for movies such as Jab We Met, Rockstar and Tamasha, shared a picture of Ida and Krish exchanging rings on his Instagram Story on Tuesday. The post offered fans a glimpse of the private celebration and confirmed the couple’s engagement.
Ida looked elegant in a baby pink saree, while Krish was dressed in a black sherwani. Sharing the photograph, Imtiaz wrote, “Seeking your blessings, the newly engaged @krishagrawal_01 and @idaali11.”
The engagement comes after several years of Ida and Krish being together. The couple has occasionally shared moments from their relationship, including pictures from their travels, on social media.
Imtiaz Ali shares engagement picture
Imtiaz Ali’s social media post gave fans their first glimpse of the intimate engagement ceremony. In the photograph, Ida and Krish can be seen exchanging rings, marking the beginning of a new chapter in their relationship.
The filmmaker’s message was brief but affectionate, as he asked followers to bless the newly engaged couple. The post quickly attracted attention from fans familiar with Ida and her work in the creative industry.
The engagement also follows a proposal that Ida had shared with her followers earlier this year. In July, she posted a video capturing Krish’s proposal and gave her followers a closer look at the engagement ring.
Speaking about the proposal at the time, Imtiaz told Hindustan Times that the moment brought him immense happiness. He also revealed that Krish had approached him for a conversation before proposing to Ida.
Ida Ali has followed her father into filmmaking
Ida Ali has been developing a career in filmmaking and storytelling, following a creative path similar to that of her father. However, she has also explored areas beyond conventional filmmaking.
Ida began experimenting with filmmaking at a young age. At 17, she directed a short film titled Lift. She later worked as the writer of the romantic drama Uljhe Hue, which was released on Amazon miniTV.
She pursued formal filmmaking education in the United States, studying at Chapman University’s Dodge College of Film and Media Arts in California. Her education has further shaped her interest in cinema and storytelling.
Ida has also explored digital media and youth-focused initiatives. She launched Refresh, a digital platform centred on young people and mental health. In addition, she co-hosts the podcast Why Are The Curtains Blue with comedian Kareema Barry.
The podcast focuses on cinema, culture and the narratives surrounding them, giving Ida another platform to discuss subjects connected to her creative interests.
Who is Krish Agrawal?
Unlike Ida and her father, Krish Agrawal does not work in the film industry. He is a quantitative researcher at a hedge fund.
Ida and Krish have been in a relationship for several years. Although they have largely maintained a private life, the couple has occasionally offered followers glimpses of their relationship through social media posts.
Their travel photographs and other shared moments have previously given fans an insight into their long-standing relationship. The engagement now marks another milestone for the couple.
Krish’s career in finance and quantitative research is separate from Ida’s work in filmmaking and digital media. Their relationship has therefore brought together two professional worlds that are largely unrelated to the entertainment industry.
Imtiaz Ali’s recent work
Imtiaz Ali continues to remain one of the prominent names in Hindi cinema, particularly for his films centred on relationships, personal journeys and emotional conflicts.
His most recent release, Main Vaapas Aaunga, featured Vedang Raina, Sharvari, Diljit Dosanjh and Naseeruddin Shah in key roles. The project marked another addition to the filmmaker’s body of work.
Imtiaz has not announced his next project yet. While details about his future filmmaking plans remain awaited, the director has recently been in the spotlight for his daughter’s engagement.
For Ida Ali and Krish Agrawal, the engagement marks an important personal milestone after years of being together. With Imtiaz Ali sharing the first glimpse of the ceremony, the family’s celebration has also drawn attention from fans and followers.
The couple’s next steps, including details about their wedding plans, have not been announced publicly so far.
