Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali says he is extremely happy after his daughter Ida Ali announced her engagement to her boyfriend, Krish Agarwal. Multiple reports say the proposal happened during the couple’s trip to Norway, with Ida sharing the news on Instagram on Sunday, July 12. Ida posted a romantic beachside video that shows her revealing a diamond ring, followed by Krish joining her on screen. Reports also indicate Krish proposed on July 1. Imtiaz Ali tells outlets that Krish spoke to him before proposing, describing the engagement as “the greatest happiness for me.” He also says there are no immediate plans he is pushing, adding that he wants the couple to enjoy the moment. Ida’s comments align with this, stating there are currently no wedding plans and that they are simply taking time to celebrate.
Public details about Krish are limited, but reports agree he works as a quantitative researcher at a hedge fund. Ida, 26, is described as a filmmaker and writer, known for directing the short film “Lift,” writing “Uljhe Hue,” and founding a digital platform focused on youth perspectives and mental health.
