The couple announced their engagement on social media on April 17, 2025, through a touching Instagram post that radiated their happiness and love.
In the Instagram update, Shaheen proudly displayed her engagement ring while affectionately leaning against Ishaan. They shared multiple photos, including moments of them strolling hand in hand, with a lighthearted caption stating, “We may have overdone this whole liking each other thing.” The announcement received an outpouring of congratulatory messages from various celebrities, including Alia Bhatt, Zoya Akhtar, Sharvari, and Ananya Panday, who celebrated this joyous occasion.
