We know how talented a filmmaker Imtiaz Ali is. And when you have a daughter who wants to follow in your footsteps, well, nothing like it! Isn't it? Ida, like her father, wants to be a filmmaker. In fact, from a very young age, Ida started working on her dream of directing. 

Ida is Imtiaz Ali's daughter from his estranged wife Preety Ali, who is a producer. Ida enjoys a massive fan following on social media and is currently a student in the United States. 

Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali's daughter Ida turned filmmaker at the age of 15. She wrote and directed a short film titled 'Lift' that had a duration of 12 minutes. The short film produced by Imtiaz Ali's production house Window Seat is a deep take on love and relationships at all ages. The entire film is shot inside a lift where people from all walks of life walk in and give us a sneak-peek into different stages of life.

In a 2018 interview with Hindustan Times, when Ida was asked about being compared to her father Imtiaz Ali and the high expectations from her, she said, "For the longest time, whenever people asked me what I wanted to become when I grew up, I would not tell them that I want to become a director. I would instead say that I want to become a writer. I didn’t want to face the expectation and comparison. I was scared. I didn’t want to become a mediocre version of either of my parents." "When people asked me what I want to be, I wouldn’t tell them I want to be a director. I didn’t want to face the comparison," she added. "“I realised that if I am actually good at this then I shouldn’t run away because of people’s expectations. But I also wanted to see if I have the talent to back up that dream. Perhaps the atmosphere I have grown up in inclined me towards this field. I think it is important to do something that you are actually good at. I don’t want to join a profession where I am average," Ida further stated.

Ida and Anurag Kashyap's daughter Aaliyah are best friends. The latter is also pursuing her studies in the US. They both have been seen sharing a slew of photos with each other very frequently and run a movement along with other friends, called 'Collabtribe' that endorses a particular type of lifestyle that is organic at its core. 

Ida is an active social media user and often takes to her Instagram handle to post mushy pictures with her boyfriend Krish Agrawal with whom she has been in a steady relationship for some time. Ida has always been open about her relationship.
