Imtiaz Ali announces daughter Ida’s engagement

Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali announced that his daughter, Ida Ali, is engaged to Krish Agrawal, sharing an Instagram photo of the couple exchanging rings and asking for blessings. The announcement followed Ida’s July social media post showing Agrawal’s proposal in Norway. The couple has not announced wedding plans. Ali shared the engagement photo on Tuesday, September 22. In the post, he described Ida and Krish as newly engaged and sought blessings for them. The image showed the couple exchanging rings at what reports described as an intimate ceremony; the ceremony’s date and location were not specified. Ida had posted a video of the proposal on July 12. The footage showed Agrawal proposing to her in Norway, according to accounts of the post. Imtiaz Ali later said in an interview that Agrawal had spoken with him before proposing. Ali described his reaction to the engagement as a great happiness. Some videos from the engagement celebration circulated online. One account reported that Ida performed Chaiyya Chaiyya at the event, but that detail was not independently corroborated in the other reports.
