The Bhatt household is buzzing with celebration as Shaheen Bhatt, author and elder sister of Bollywood superstar Alia Bhatt, officially announced her engagement to long-time partner Ishaan Mehra.
The news broke on Friday, April 17, 2026, when Shaheen took to Instagram to share a series of heartwarming photos from the proposal. Known for her witty and low-key personality, Shaheen kept her announcement caption sweet and playful, writing, “We may have overdone this whole liking each other thing.”
The photos shared by the couple reveal a private, scenic outdoor setting where Ishaan popped the question. In one of the most talked-about shots, Shaheen is seen smiling brightly while showing off a stunning engagement ring. Other pictures captured the couple sharing quiet, intimate moments, reflecting the relaxed and grounded nature of their relationship.
While the Bhatt family is often in the spotlight, Shaheen has largely built her career behind the scenes as a writer and producer. However, this happy news has put her front and center, with fans and industry friends rushing to congratulate the couple.
No one seemed more moved by the news than Alia Bhatt. The Alpha actress, who is known to be extremely close to her sister, reposted the announcement on her Instagram Stories with a touching note.
“Currently weeping,” Alia wrote, accompanied by several crying emojis, clearly overwhelmed with joy for her “anchor.” She also flooded Shaheen’s comments section with love, promising to “spam” her with affection during this special time.
For those wondering about the man who won Shaheen’s heart, Ishaan Mehra has a background quite different from the film world. He is a former international swimmer who once represented India at the Youth Asian Games. Today, he is a well-known figure in the fitness industry, working as a full-time fitness coach and trainer at a popular Mumbai gym.
The couple’s relationship first became public in early 2025 after they were spotted together on family vacations, including a New Year’s trip to Thailand with the Kapoor and Bhatt families. Since then, Ishaan has been a regular fixture at family gatherings, earning the seal of approval from parents Mahesh Bhatt and Soni Razdan.
As of now, the family has not shared any details regarding a wedding date, but if the engagement photos are any indication, the upcoming nuptials are sure to be a beautiful, heartfelt affair. To know
