On July 1, Krish orchestrated a picture-perfect proposal, dropping down on one knee and presenting Ida with a ring in what could only be described as a delightfully filmy moment, might as well have been from her father’s film.

The 25-year-old aspiring filmmaker said yes! On Sunday, Ida took to Instagram to share a video of the proposal, giving everyone a glimpse of the couple’s milestone.

The proposal, however, came with an old-world touch of tradition. Before popping the question, Krish, 24, spoke to Imtiaz Ali and sought his blessing.

Sharing his happiness, the filmmaker told Medha Shri, “It is the greatest happiness for me.” He adds, “Krish did speak to me before proposing to Ida.”

Ida told us, “Krish works as a quantitative researcher at a hedge fund.”

Meanwhile, Ida says, “There are no wedding plans yet! Just enjoying the moment, like my dad said.”

Who is Krish Agarwal, Imtiaz Ali's future son-in-law?

Krish Agarwal is 24 years old. He works as a quantitative researcher at a hedge fund. He and Ida Ali have been dating for a longtime. They both love to travel.
